A huge thank you to Westborough High School’s student council for hosting an incredible Glow-in-the-Dark 5K in support of PALS! ✨

These students organized the entire event from start to finish, coordinating permits, managing 30+ volunteers, working with the town, and securing donations from local businesses and community members. Together, they raised $1,222.64 for PALS!

Thank you for inspiring a world of belonging and supporting our mission in such a meaningful way. We are so grateful for you all!

Shoutout to a few of our P2P fundraising STARS!

🌟 Bobby turned his 25th birthday into a force for good, asking friends & family to donate $25 to PALS. What a way to celebrate!
🌟Lauren crushed it as our top fundraiser of April, raising an incredible $2,250 for PALS!
🌟 Abby received 22 individual donations to her page! The most donations out of anyone so far- that's 22 people she inspired to give!

These three embody what our Peer-to-Peer fundraising is all about: sharing our mission of inspiring a world of belonging. Thank you, Bobby, Lauren, and Abby. We are so grateful for your support of our mission!

Did you know that PALS operates on a 1:1 pairing model?

Each summer, our team works hard to create a little bit of pairing magic—thoughtfully matching individuals based on things like age, interests, hobbies, and gender.

These connections are what make the PALS experience so meaningful.
We still have a few volunteer spaces open for this summer! Head to the link in our bio to check out where we’re still recruiting 👀

As Volunteer Appreciation Month comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for the volunteers who live out the PALS values in every moment at camp.

Did you know PALS launched a 21+ program on the West Coast? 👀⁠
⁠
Because finding your people after college isn’t always easy… but it should be. “Imagine showing up to a house with 15 of your best friends, a full itinerary of beach days, winery tours, game nights, and dance parties…”⁠
⁠
That’s the magic of our 21+ programs! Smaller groups, more independence, and the same one-to-one friendships that change everything. ⁠
⁠
We’re building something special in San Francisco, and we'd love for you to be a part of it. DM us for more information or apply today at the link in our bio!

“Never in a million years would I think my life could change so much in a singular week." - PALS Volunteer

This is what PALS is all about. What begins at camp becomes a change that lasts a lifetime. Inclusion isn’t something we practice for just one week—it’s something that reshapes the way we show up every day after.
