Robertson Activities League (RAL)
The Robertson Activities League (RAL) came into being as a response to teenage violence in the community. LAPD and SORO NC wanted to create a program that at-risk youth could benefit from during the winter, spring and summer school breaks. SORO NC, the Police Foundation and the Department of Parks and Recreation collaborated to assist with funding and volunteers and have continued their involvement as the program has expanded. During school breaks, students who register with the RAL program spend the day at the Robertson Recreation Center, taking part in a variety of activities including games, crafts, lectures, community service projects and field trips.
