PAL is a recreation and education based youth enrichment program for youth of Palm Beach County, FL while creating positive relationships with Law Enforcement.
Our PAL youth had one of their most thrilling days heading south to welcome all of the excitement at @xtremeactionpark! The day was filed with jumping on the trampolines, games in the arcade, and the ropes course. It was an unforgettable day of high-flying “XTREME” excitement!
Our PAL site in Lake Worth Beach assisted at the City of Lake Worth Beach’s “Back to School Bash.” Our youth spent the day volunteering, handing out hundreds of backpacks & school supplies to school aged children of the community. We can’t believe summer is almost over!
Our PAL Cabana teens really enjoy when they get the chance to spend quality time with US Men’s Shed Association. This week our boys spent the morning with Men’s Shed member Rockie, as they received advice, discussed careers, & enjoyed a delicious meal. Thank YOU Rockie!
Our PAL-tastic summer continues with an incredible trip to @wakodahatchee_wildlife and Green Cay Nature Preserve. Thank you to the awesome staff & naturalists for the educational tour. The weather was beautiful along the boardwalk while we saw all kinds of animals.
PBSO’s Therapy Dogs came by for a visit at our Cabana Colony site. A BIG THANK YOU to all of our Therapy Dog Teams (dogs & handlers) for taking the time to teach our youth about their importance & mission while spending time with us!
Our @papajohnssfl PAL Student of the Month for June is Noel from our Lake Worth Beach site. Noel always is sweet, kind, respectful & is always the first to offer a kind & supportive word when he sees anyone upset. Thank you @papajohnssfl for rewarding Noel!
Feel Good Friday Story! 💖 One of our deputies made a huge difference in the life of a Lake Worth Beach family by surprising them with a car. For nearly a year, this dedicated mom and her kids walked everywhere, including 6 miles to catch the school bus. Despite the challenges, she ensured her kids stayed active in our Police Athletic League @Pbcpal. This week, we witnessed an emotional and unforgettable moment when we surprised this single mom with their new car. We couldn't be prouder of our generous team for making this happen. #FridayMotivation #PBSO
