Who is Nashua PAL?

Nashua PAL is not a quiet little nonprofit. We’re a $2 million organization serving more than 2,500 young people every year, powered by an incredible mix of kids, staff, police officers, volunteers, donors, businesses, families, and community partners who believe young people deserve people in their corner.

On any given day, PAL might look like an afterschool program, a packed gym, a mentoring conversation, an officer shooting hoops with kids, a teenager finding their first job, a family getting connected to help, or a community coming together around something bigger than themselves.

That’s PAL. Kids. Cops. Community. And it works.

We’ve built something special in Nashua, and we’re not interested in standing still.

We have strong community support, successful fundraising events, generous donors, committed business partners, and a reputation built through decades of showing up for kids. We’re looking for a leader who can take all that energy and help us think bigger.
