Who we are?

We are JaxPAL

The Police Athletic League of Jacksonville (JaxPAL) is a 501(c)(3) youth-serving nonprofit that enriches the lives of children by creating positive relationships between law enforcement officers and the youth of our community through education, athletic, outreach, and teen leadership programs.

Our work to build positive relationships between police officers and kids— through our collaborative partnership with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office— sets us apart from other youth-serving organizations in our community. These relationships are transformational for both the officers and the kids who participate in our programs, giving our community and our kids the opportunity to grow stronger together.
