Our youth hold the promise of a brighter future, and it’s our responsibility to nurture that potential. By creating the right environment, dedicating our time and resources with intention, and opening doors to opportunities, we lay the foundation for their success. 

For nearly 30 years, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Activities League (SAL) has been a beacon of hope, offering programs that have transformed lives and built strong bonds between our Sheriff’s deputies, local youth, and the communities we serve. Through these efforts, we’ve reached nearly 80,000 young people in San Mateo County – helping to reduce juvenile delinquency and crime, increase graduation rates, improve career readiness, and provide caring adult role models for those who need them most. 

None of this would be possible without the generous support of donors and community members who share our vision and commitment to our youth. Your support of SAL directly impacts the lives of young people, equipping them with the tools they need to become future leaders. Many of our SAL participants are now first-generation college students – a testament to the power of the opportunities they’ve found through our programs. 

Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of our youth, changing their trajectories and laying the foundation for their future successes.
