Law Enforcement For Youth

Law Enforcement for Youth is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. We bring law enforcement and members of the community together to form our unpaid Board of Directors and volunteer group. The Board of Directors drive our organization to strive in improving and expanding current events as well as constantly seeking additional ways of raising funds for those in need.

In early 2003, the MCLEA / Schutt Sports Pig Bowl coordinators recognized that many other youth and youth programs were in need of assistance. With the current format, they were unable to assist youth or youth programs outside of the Boys & Girls Club without another non-profit

acting as a host. The desire to have the ability to help other youth programs and provide direct assistance to low income and at risk youth who want to participate in school or other programs led to the founding of Law Enforcement for Youth.

The formation of Law Enforcement for Youth has allowed for the expansion
of new fundraising activities, including golf and basketball tournaments, auctions, educational seminars, dances and concerts.

The funds raised under the new organization are used to establish grant programs. Grants are made available to at-risk, low income, and medically challenged youth and programs that serve them. Individuals can apply for mini grants to assist in the expense of participation fees for youth activities and youth organizations can apply for project grants to aid in specific youth programs.

Law Enforcement for Youth will continue to assist in providing opportunities to those youth who may not otherwise receive them. It is our firmest belief that every child has a right for the opportunity to succeed. Our youth are our best investment in the future. We look forward to your support of our efforts in providing these opportunities.
