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.
With the commitment and dedication of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, we are working to prevent crime by providing kids with the tools and support they need to break the cycle of violence and thrive. By providing opportunities to build positive relationships with officers, we give kids the best chance for their brightest futures.
