How Mission Pals  started 

In 2001, a few dedicated LAPD officers recognized a need in their community.
They realized many local children lacked safe after-school environments, positive role models, and meaningful guidance.

What began as a small gathering in a neighborhood gym has since evolved into a vibrant youth program that now supports thousands of kids throughout the area.

What Makes Us Different

Safe Spaces Always

 

Our program is committed to creating environments where every child feels emotionally, mentally, and physically safe.

Core Values Matter

Our values aren't just words on a wall — they shape every decision, activity, and moment we create.

Inclusion Every Time

We thrive when we work as one — uplifting each other to achieve more than we could alone.

Community events

to build connection, celebration, and cultural pride

Wish List Support

for supplies like snacks, books, sports gear, and more

Real Impact, building futures

Every item donated, every dollar gifted, and every volunteer hour brings life-changing experiences to our kids.

"Together, we build futures filled with purpose and pride."

There are so many

ways to make a difference:

​

  • Volunteer with your time and talents

  • Attend or sponsor one of our community events

  • Share our story and spread the word
