About
Lakeland PAL currently has 60 youth enrolled in after-school programs where PAL officers, along with college interns & retired teachers, work with children to help them prepare for FCAT tests and complete daily homework assignments. The after-school program assists the children and youth in their education and promotes educational values as well as mentors them to be good citizens. PAL serves over 1,500 children each year, providing activities such as youth football, cheerleading, baseball, basketball, track & field, wrestling and the Driven 1 fitness program. Lakeland PAL staff and volunteers mentor hundreds of children each year, providing to children who may not be able to participate in other organized recreational activities due to transportation issues or economic reasons. The PAL bus is utilized by the staff to pick up children from area schools and bring them to the Simpson Park Center for the after-school program so that mentoring and educational assistance can be provided.
