Fairfield PAL Program Seeks Volunteers

Information from Fairfield Police:

The Fairfield Police Activities League (PAL) at the Matt Garcia Youth Center is looking for adult volunteers to assist with its summer school program.  Adult volunteers are needed to coach and play with middle and high school student's weekdays anytime between 3-9 p.m.

Volunteers play a very important role at the Fairfield Police Activities League.  To become an adult volunteer at Fairfield PAL, please go to the Fairfield Police Department Lobby (1000 Webster Street) on the 2nd Monday of each month from 4- 6:15 p.m. to complete a volunteer application and get fingerprinted by the Fairfield Police Department. The PAL Program will pay for all fingerprinting and associated paperwork costs. Applicants need to only bring a valid id with them.

The Fairfield PAL program at the Matt Garcia Youth Center offers Fairfield, Suisun and Travis teens a place to grow, learn and build the skills they need today and in the future. The PAL Center offers teens a safe environment, supports working families and helps students achieve by giving them opportunities right now.  

When it comes to crime rates in the community and youth success, the most important determinant is not a child's IQ, family life, or individual temperament, but the willingness of a community to act. Our youth need caring adults to take action and to volunteer today! Our youth aren't the future; they are now. So please join us today-be a positive influence and share something of yourself with those who need you most. You can help make the NOW generation great by being a PAL Volunteer!

For more information about these PAL activities, please call 707.422.6288 or visit the program's website at www.fairfield-pal.org.
