We’re so proud of this moment 💫
Be A Mentor recently attended the California Police Activities League Youth Mentoring Leadership Academy (YMLA) Conference in Sacramento, where we recognized their organization for their work partnering with Rural CalPAL sites alongside the California National Guard.
This recognition reflects the impact of mentorship and the strength of the communities we serve.
✨ Special recognition to Sylvia Garner, CalPAL Resident Trainer and Palmdale Site Coordinator, for her leadership and dedication to mentoring youth.
And special recognition to Lt. John Sivilla, our California National Guard partner, for his long-standing commitment to California PAL and continued support of the Mentors for California Rural Youth program.
We are incredibly grateful and inspired to continue empowering youth through mentorship and leadership opportunities.
