Riverside County PAL

🎓 Last week, we had the opportunity to celebrate our PAL seniors and recognize their commitment to growth, leadership, and community. While several couldn’t attend due to other commitments, we were proud to honor all of them as they prepare for their next chapter.

From college and technical schools to military service and new career paths, these young leaders are taking incredible steps forward. During the celebration, they reflected on their time in PAL, the lessons they’ve learned, and the connections they’ve built along the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We can’t wait to see what comes next. 💙

We couldn’t let it pass by - March was National Reading Month! Reading is an essential part in strengthening vocabulary, critical thinking, imagination , and confidence in youth. Riverside County PAL contributed to this mission by our mentees making bookmarks and providing free books through our mini libraries, one of which was painted by one of our Teen PAL mentees. Reading can make a difference in our communities. You too can make a difference by supporting your local library, starting a book club, or spreading awareness on the importance of reading to youth in your community.
