Jersey City Police Athletic League

JCPAL is an independent non-profit youth crime prevention program that utilizes educational, athletic and recreational activities to create trust and understanding between police officers and youth. The vision of the Jersey City Police Athletic League is one of success and empowerment. Our goal is to foster a winning spirit through unity,cooperation,and hard work. Through athletics we will build trust, help students improve focus and develop life skills, reinforce high standards and values, and establish an path toward excellence. We not only seek to expand our own horizons as adults, parents, and public servants, but those of every child involved in PAL activities. In our pursuit of a complete program of growth and motivation, we will continue to establish academic and self-enrichment projects to help build character and strength. We will build relationships with community organizations and leaders, and establish the PAL as an organization at the forefront in the effort to provide a positive outlet for Jersey City’s youth. We envision an organization encompassing many activities, operating year round, and working hand-in-hand with the community and the City to prepare our children for the biggest game of all… LIFE.
