Support the Cause
Donate Today
Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Activity League is governed and operated by volunteers. We rely on donations and sponsorships from businesses and individuals to provide much needed services to at-risk youth in our community. Seven hundred youth ages 5 to 18 years are served annually participating in activities such as FIT SAL (a relays program), FUT SAL (indoor soccer), Tennis, and Junior Giants Baseball. All activities are provided free of cost to participants. Without donations serving youth in our community would not be possible. Donations can be made directly to the organization through the provided link or by check (payable to Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Activities League). As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, your generous contribution is fully tax-deductible.

San Lorenzo Valley High School graciously allowed us to use their facilities and pool for the program, providing an excellent environment for the participants to learn and train. Beyond acquiring practical skills, students developed confidence, teamwork, and leadership while building positive relationships with law enforcement officers. The program concluded with a community service project and a graduation BBQ, where families celebrated their children’s achievements. Due to its success and strong support from parents, there are plans to expand the program to other areas of Santa Cruz County, ensuring more youth can benefit from this unique and educational experience.
