Newtown After School Program
Director Deputy Greg Cramer & PAL students |
The Police Athletic League of Sarasota County was founded in
1988 to help address the explosive needs of our fast growing
community. Today we serve over 1,200 young people with
innovative programs designed to address their complex world.
The critical period of time
between the end of school and parents coming home from work is a
major focus for PAL programs. We know that unsupervised
young people are a major risk group. Statistics have shown
that 37% of juvenile crime in Sarasota County occurs during
these hours.
PAL currently operates an
affordable after school program at Newtown Recreation Center.
This location is supervised by Deputies of the Sarasota County
Sheriff's Office and provides the following: homework
assistance, tutoring, arts & crafts, music instruction, and
sports activities. |
