Fairfield PAL announces move!

After a great run at the Sullivan site, the PAL Teen Center is moving. The program will reopen this summer at 2250 North Texas Street, formally the Trading Post and before that Skateland Roller Rink.

Fairfield PAL opened in 2009 on 250 Travis Blvd before moving to the Sullivan location. The Fairfield PAL Teen Center uses the fun of traditional recreational programs to engage underserved teens and help build great qualities in members. PAL’s work affects the lives of the people we serve in six domains; traditional recreation, career development and planning, relationship building with local law enforcement, opportunities to build skills, leadership development, and health and wellness programing.

Fairfield PAL has served over 4000 teens and their families offering sports, health and wellness, academic, social and emotional skill building, financial literacy, leadership, career development, mentorship and more. PAL serves Fairfield, Suisun, and Travis teens who are placed at disproportionate risk of becoming disconnected from school, community, and family or have been traditionally underserved. Since opening in 2009, PAL has served an average of 63 teens each day, with the average length of participation being 2 hours and 56 minutes a day! 71% of PAL members qualify for free or reduced lunch.

To prepare for the reopening, staff will be conducting listening circles as part of an updated needs assessment to be sure that the calendar aligns to the needs and interests of PAL members. To sign up for a session, please call 707 330 8757.

ABOUT FAIRFIELD PAL

The Fairfield PAL Program is open to Fairfield, Suisun, and Travis Students enrolled ages 13-18 who are enrolled in school. Memberships are FREE and can be applied for at the Fairfield Community Center (1000 Kentucky Street) with a parent or guardian signature and valid student ID.

PAL uses traditional recreational programming to create an environment that draws young people to support the development of the social and emotional skills required to promote a positive self-identity and become productive and engaged members of our community. By offering teens programs they are interested in and choices, it becomes possible to slip in pro social skill building and development utilizing youth development practices and techniques.
