Since 1997, San Mateo PAL has provided recreational, educational, and leisure activities for free to thousands of San Mateo youth.  Supported by a volunteer Board of Directors and staff consisting of Police Officers, Parks and Recreation Staff, and City Employees, the San Mateo Police Activities League is building a stronger and safer community through kids - our most valuable asset.

​Stride for Awareness was created in the spirit of involvement and the power of community working together for a common goal.  Its mission is to bring people together and address important issues to better ourselves, our community, and the world we live in.  SFA strives to work with community leaders and organizations to promote discussion, education and understanding of critical issues.
