✨ Get Ready for an Unforgettable Night at the 2nd Annual Jersey City PAL Youth Empowerment Gala! ✨

A Story of Dreams, Determination, and the Next Generation of Leaders

On August 8th, 2025, the red carpet rolls out at The Chandelier in Bayonne, NJ, not just for a glamorous night—but for a powerful movement. The Jersey City Police Athletic League (JCPAL) invites you to the 2nd Annual Youth Empowerment Gala, a celebration of young lives transformed through programs rooted in mentorship, creativity, discipline, and leadership.

From the drone-flying future tech leaders in our Drones & Robotics program, to the next community protectors learning from Sgt. Lonnie Wiggins in Explorers, these kids are not just participating—they're evolving.

Whether they’re building their confidence in Summer Youth Camps, discovering discipline on the court through Common Courts Basketball, or finding their voice through Art and Music, each JCPAL youth represents a story of growth, hope, and potential.

Inside our walls at 163 Old Bergen Rd, we’ve witnessed kids become mentors, chess champions, book lovers, leaders, and most importantly—believers in themselves. Programs like BRAH Code, Girl Scouts, Home Economics, and Safe Haven Fridays Night Lights build life skills with heart and humanity.

And that’s what this Gala is all about:
Celebrating the journeys. Fueling the future. Empowering the now. Trainings Champions For Life.
