The
basic mission of PAL is to offer youth of Dunn and the
surrounding area a viable alternative to the temptations
of street life, which can lead to a life of crime,
alcoholism, drugs, vandalism, delinquency and gangs. PAL keeps
young men and women active, interested and busy through
its supervised/ multifaceted programs geared to develop
leadership traits and build good citizens for tomorrow.
PAL is dedicated to instilling in youth a value system
that recognizes the need to respect and protect human
rights and to uphold and obey the laws of our city,
state and nation.

PAL Profile
PAL is for youth which are in Public School, Private
School or CCCC Adult High School Diploma Program and
are ages 6-18 and grades 4-12th. PAL offers both
Athletic, Educational and Non-Athletic activities
for boys and girls and is not limited to sex, race
or ethnic background. Any youth in the following
school districts can participate: Harnett, Sampson -
Plainview/Midway area and Johnston - Benson/South
Johnston High area. The PAL participation criteria
must be followed by all prospective PAL members.
Parents are encouraged to participate as much as
possible. Dunn PAL was formed to establish mutual
trust between Law Enforcement, Citizens and the
Youth. To provide a Safe Haven Center and provide an
alternative means of enjoyment and activities other
than hanging out on the streets. Promote good clean
fun, teamwork, responsibility, self respect and
problem solving.
Dunn PAL was first implemented in the summer of 1995
and has an active Advisory Board that meets the
First Monday of Every Month at 6:30 P.M. Most Dunn
PAL Activities are funded through public and private
donations. Some programs are funded partially from
local and federal grants. All programs are operated
by volunteers, and we always need volunteers to keep
our programs in operation. Dunn PAL is a chartered
member since 1996 with the National Association of
Police Athletic Leagues (NAPAL) and you can visit
