A Message from Our Executive Director
Dear Friends, Families, and Supporters,
As we move through 2026, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible community that continues to stand alongside Hollenbeck PAL and, most importantly, the youth and families we serve.
Every program, activity, and opportunity we provide is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: when young people are supported, encouraged, and given opportunities to succeed, entire communities become stronger. Through the dedication of our LAPD officers, staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, community partners, and supporters, HPAL continues to create spaces where young people can learn, grow, build meaningful relationships, and see new possibilities for their future.
This year has already brought meaningful moments of connection and impact, and there is much more ahead. As we continue our programs and prepare for our annual Gala, Creating Pathways to Success, we are reminded that this work is only possible because of people and organizations who believe in our mission.
Thank you for believing in our youth, supporting our families, and being part of the Hollenbeck PAL community. Together, we are building bonds, creating pathways, and helping shape brighter futures, one young person at a time.
With gratitude,
Lorraine Garcia
Executive Director & Co-Founder
