Mountain View Police Activities League's (MVPAL) mission is to foster mutual understanding between youth and police officers through a non-confrontational setting and, in this way, divert them away from gangs and criminal activity.  To accomplish this goal, MVPAL offers a wide variety of recreational and leadership opportunities to kids between the ages of 5 and 18.

PAL Mentoring Program

MVPAL Mentoring is a program designed to improve the lives of youth through mentoring by law enforcement personnel. Mentors and mentees engage together in activities such as arts and crafts, sports, music, games, reading, field trips, holiday parties and more. This fun and lively interaction between members of the Department and the children provides the students with influential role models and positive direction.  Twenty-one police personnel along with other community volunteers serve as mentors and over 40 kids from Castro Elementary School and Graham Middle School participate in the program.
