The mission of the <br />Sheriff’s Activities League is to invest in all youth of San Mateo County by creating <br />opportunities that guide them toward their full potential through impactful programs <br />which foster relationships between deputies, youth, families and the community. <br /> <br />The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Activities League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization <br />that operates as part of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and has a long track <br />record of delivering on its’ commitment to provide positive partnerships between the <br />youth, deputies, and communities through their provision of safe, affordable and <br />purposeful programs that make the difference in the lives of children. SAL relies heavily <br />on donations to be able to financially support and administer programs involving <br />relationship building between cops and kids, teaching children to eat right and be active, <br />mentorships, leadership training, character development, and several other similar <br />activities. In fact, all funds raised through donations and/or fundraisers go directly to <br />serve the youth in our communities. Administrative costs are covered by the San Mateo <br />County Sheriff’s Office and grants. <br />6.3.A. - Page 1
