Executive Director

“September always feels like a fresh start—not only for our kids heading back to school, but here at MPAL too. As our fall programs get underway, I love seeing familiar faces return, new kids walk through our doors, and our building once again become the busy after-school gathering place we know and love.”

A monetary donation of any amount is appreciated.

Spread the word

Know a kid who would benefit?

Know someone who would love to volunteer?

Send them our way.

We’re excited to welcome Meg Distler as one of MPAL’s newest volunteer coaches, lending her time and talents to both Boxing and S.H.E.! When she’s not at MPAL, Meg serves as a prosecutor with the Major Crimes Unit at the County Attorney’s Office—and when she does get some free time, her favorite place to be is out hiking with her puppy, Ranger. We’re so grateful to have Meg sharing her energy, experience, and encouragement with our kids.

Our doors are open — come see us!

Everything MPAL does happens at 409 Beech Street, and the best way to understand what we do is to walk through the door.
