California Police Youth Charities Makes Positive Changes

Incorporated as a non-profit organization in June 2002, the California Police Youth Charities (CPYC) has grown in its scope. Its real impact, however, cannot be solely measured by the donations it has received and distributed to deserving persons and groups but by the positive changes it has made in their lives.

With its mix of law enforcement officers, businessmen, and professional athletes on its board of directors, the organization works toward providing under-privileged children with the opportunities for their welfare and advancement. It has established strong ongoing partnerships with various organizations including the Sacramento Kings, Oakland A’s, and San Diego Chargers, among others, to provide kids the opportunity to be just kids.

Its programs and projects accomplish several goals, such as bridging the gap between the kids and police officers, providing productive activities, and stressing positive values. Usually, police officers and professional athletes speak to the kids about issues affecting their lives including drugs, alcohol and gang violence.

In our world, every kid saved from these issues is a step in the right direction.
