PALS Programs

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!

We’re just a few weeks out from camp kickoff 🎉 Make sure you don’t miss a moment of the PALS magic! Follow along on all of our socials to see the friendships, fun, and unforgettable memories unfold.

We’re on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube—stay tuned! 📷

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!

Shoutout to one of our incredible PALS Partnerships, Gnome Surf! 🌊

For the past 4 years, Gnome Surf has partnered with us to create unforgettable adaptive surfing experiences for our Participants. Through accessible equipment, innovative programming, and an amazing team of volunteers, our Participants get the chance to experience the thrill of riding the waves together.

We are so grateful for this partnership and for the joy, confidence, and belonging that Gnome Surf brings to our community every summer. 🏄

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 👀

🚨 We have a new Peer-to-Peer fundraising prize to choose from- swipe to see a photo!

For the month of May, anyone who raises $250 through their P2P fundraising page can receive exclusive PALS swag. Choose between a PALS t-shirt, tote bag, or hat!

Shoutout to two of our swag recipients, Lexi & Rachel! Keep up the amazing work! 💪

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!

50 DAYS UNTIL CAMP! 🎉 Get ready for a summer full of adventure, connection, and memories that last a lifetime!

“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.

How has PALS impacted you? Let us know below!
