Make An Impact

Our programs are made possible through the generosity of government and corporate partners, and from community members like you.

Every dollar donated changes lives. Whether it’s the laughter shared during a campfire or the pride in a teen’s voice as they share their story on Capitol Hill, your generosity creates ripples of hope and inspiration. We invite you to join our Impact Campaign to invest in Santa Barbara’s youth and our community’s future.

Your Impact in Action:

  • $100 provides a week of snacks for the PAL Teen Center, ensuring 35 kids stay nourished while they learn, grow, and build friendships.

  • $250 sends a child to a week-long summer camp through our Campership Alliance Program, opening doors to adventure, self-discovery, and confidence-building.

  • $500 supports our annual fishing trip at Cachuma Lake, fostering trust and bonds between cops and kids as they share a day of fun and nature.

  • $1,000 equips kids with critical safety gear for our summer Beach Camps, so they can explore, the waves and sun safely.

  • $5,000 sends two teens to the National PAL Leadership Conference in Washington, DC—an unforgettable journey that shapes tomorrow's leaders.

  • $8,000 funds our beloved Winter Wonderland event, bringing warmth to 250 families with meals and joy to 100 kids through holiday gifts.

  • $10,000 powers our Cops and Kids Leadership Camp at the Circle V Ranch, launching summer with a transformative week of leadership, teamwork, and growth.

From all of us at PAL—thank you for believing in the power of connection and community.

The Power Of A Monthly Gift

When you become a monthly supporter of SBPAL, you're not just making a donation —you're becoming a steady presence in the life of a young person who needs it most.

Teens need support, engagement, and growth opportunities year round - and that is what we strive to provide.

Monthly gifts allow us to plan ahead, maintain our programs, and be there for every teen who walks through the doors of the Twelve35 Teen Center looking for a safe place to belong.

Here are just four examples of the impact your monthly gift could have in the coming year:

  • A gift of $25 a month provides access to tutoring for a teen struggling in school.

  • A gift of $50 a month supports one-on-one mentorship that changes lives.

  • A gift of $100 a month funds outdoor recreation and enrichment opportunities.

  • A gift of $250 a month helps teens develop leadership skills and confidence.

Join our community of monthly supporters today and help us keep reinforce this bridge between cops, kids, and our community—one month, one moment, and one young person at a time.
