When I was a teenager, I attended both summer youth and after school youth at the Police Athelete League (PAL) which reminds me a great deal of the PAL. The Organization was very impactful to my life. We went on countless trips all over the city as well as participated in varous volunteer programs and held many events to raise funds. The organization kept teens busy and was available to us in case we needed assistance, such as help with homework or other assistance.  My last memories involved my assigned PAL counselor assisting me with my college application which I successfully completed. Junior Acheivement can and will make a difference.
