PARSIPPANY — Tony Bonavitacola, Executive Director, Parsippany PAL spoke to the members of Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany about the new “Mentoring” program started by the PAL.
The Parsippany PAL is actively searching for adults interested in becoming a mentor for youngsters ages 8-17 after receiving a National PAL grant funded by the U.S. Department of Justice. The program will run from January through September of 2017. Programs and activities will be centered on leadership, peer pressure, self-confidence, social skills, bullying and the increase in drug use in town.
In addition, the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany made a donation to the Parsippany PAL at its weekly meeting on Thursday, February 3.
Since 1965, the Parsippany PAL has been working hard to provide the children of Parsippany with various activities and sports programs. Beginning with only 240 children registered in three programs, the Parsippany PAL has grown to serve more than 4,000 children from Parsippany and the surrounding area with over 15 programs.
The focus of the Parsippany PAL is entirely on the kids!
The Parsippany PAL manages/hosts a wide variety of programs, including Basketball, Cheerleading, Football, Ice Hockey, and Rugby. Additionally, throughout the year.
