Overview

Mission

Hollywood pal drives positive change in the community we serve by partnering with lapd and school-aged youth in programs that celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion and inspire personal excellence, social awareness, and civic engagement. We create opportunities for officer and volunteer led sports, academics and enrichment programs for youth to provide impactful opportunities for personal growth and development.

What it reported doing in 2024

Enrichment programs empower youth with essential life skills, academic support, and personal growth opportunities. The girl scouts program builds leadership and confidence, while tutoring services boost literacy and academic performance. Through mentoring, youth gain positive role models, enhancing self-esteem and decision-making. Taste of the arts introduces youth to the visual and performing arts, fostering creativity, while opioid prevention programs educate youth on healthy choices. Scholarships ease financial barriers to higher education, and life beyond pal provides job readiness and life skills training. Each program fosters development, resilience, and long-term success for hollywood pal youth.

The verdict
