***Nashua PAL -Police Athletic League- Nashua, NH

Nashua PAL Youth Safe Haven afterschool/summer program, located in the heart of Nashua's "Tree Streets," serves close to at-risk 400 youth per year. The Youth Safe Haven program is run by two part-time staff and a host of volunteers/interns. Additionally, the Nashua Police assign a full-time police officer, housed at the Youth Safe Haven, to the PAL program. PAL youth face extreme poverty, familial substance misuse/gangs/incarceration, and many other challenges. While they are at the Youth Safe Haven, they are safe, engaged, and focused on their education. In the Granite State Education Corps (GSEC), direct service AmeriCorps members serve youth, grades 4-12 across New Hampshire. Many Granite State youth have been impacted by trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which, without proper support, can negatively affect success, health, and functioning long-term. The good news? The impacts of ACEs can be counteracted, and one of those “counter-ACEs” is relationships. GSEC aims to introduce stability and positive relationships into the lives of at-risk middle and high school youth by pairing them with AmeriCorps member mentors, who regularly meet one-on-one or in small groups with a caseload of ten students to increase their resiliency, social and emotional skills, and self-sufficiency—in essence, serving the “whole child.
