Goodwill PHA -Nashua PAL Mental Health Advocate

Nashua PAL's (Police Athletic League) mission is to create a positive attitude between the children of Nashua and the members of the Police Department through PAL sponsored sports, enrichment, recreation, leadership, and educational activities. Nashua PAL is a NH nonprofit founded and incorporated in 1989.

Originally, PAL programs consisted of special community events in Nashua's inner-city "Tree Streets" neighborhood. In 2004, PAL secured a permanent location (52 Ash St.), designated the Nashua PAL Youth Safe Haven. PAL is committed to inner city youth programming, and a number of exclusive youth sports programs throughout the city.

Today, Nashua PAL serves over 2,000 youth in Southern New Hampshire within our 16 educational and engaging programs. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
