Evolution Today

Evolution to Today

Like many community agencies the PAL has felt the impact of Covid-19. Many of their programs came to a screeching halt once the pandemic hit. This has caused a decline in student enrollment as well as government funding.

As of 2022 the Manchester Pal offers Karate and 3 on 3 basketball. This is a major Difference from the wide variety of programs that were offered pre-covid.

Due the the demand of police presence in the Manchester community, even volunteers are scarce.

This leaves the question? How is the community being served?

Stephen Desautels, Executive Director

Manchester Police Activities League(PAL)

The Manchester Pal is ran by Stephen Desautels who is the liaison between the community and the Police. Stephen works closely with the Youth Services Bureau in order to connect Juveniles with opportunities to transform their perceptive of the police .

During his tenure as the ED of the PAL he has implemented a variety of programming and relationships within the Manchester Public school system in order to engage youth and families.

Mr. Desautels has often spoken with the police chief in order to bring law enforcement to schools in order to educate youth and reinforce that police are just people who acquired the job to protect.
