(3) programs assisting and promoting employability and job placement; and
(4) prevention and treatment programs to reduce substance abuse, child abuse, and adolescent pregnancy, including outreach programs for at-risk families.
Applicants may be Indian tribal governments, cities, counties, or other municipalities, school boards, colleges and universities, private nonprofit entities, or consortia of eligible applicants. Applicants must show that a planning process has occurred that has involved organizations, institutions, and residents of target areas, including young people, and that there has been cooperation between neighborhood-based entities, municipality-wide bodies, and local private-sector representatives. Applicants must demonstrate the substantial involvement of neighborhood-based entities in the carrying out of the proposed activities. Proposals must demonstrate that a broad base of collaboration and coordination will occur in the implementation of the proposed activities, involving cooperation among youth-serving organizations, schools, health and social service providers, employers, law enforcement professionals, local government, and residents of target areas, including young people. Applications shall be geographically based in particular neighborhoods or sections of municipalities or particular segments of rural areas, and applications shall demonstrate how programs will serve substantial proportions of children and youth resident in the target area with activities designed to have substantial impact on their lives.
In making such grants, the Council shall give preference to coalitions consisting of a broad spectrum of community-based and social service organizations that have a coordinated team approach to reducing gang membership and the effects of substance abuse, and providing alternatives to at-risk youth.
The Federal share of a grant made under this part 1 may not exceed 75 percent of the total costs of the projects described in the applications submitted under subsection (b) of this section for the fiscal year for which the projects receive assistance under this subchapter.
The Council may waive the 25 percent matching requirement under paragraph (1) upon making a determination that a waiver is equitable in view of the financial circumstances affecting the ability of the applicant to meet that requirement.
The non-Federal share of such costs may be in cash or in kind, fairly evaluated, including plant, equipment, and services.
Funds made available under this subchapter to a governmental entity shall not be used to supplant State or local funds, or in the case of Indian tribal governments, funds supplied by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but shall be used to increase the amount of funds that would, in the absence of Federal funds received under this subchapter, be made available from State or local sources, or in the case of Indian tribal governments, from funds supplied by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The Council shall conduct a thorough evaluation of the programs assisted under this subchapter.

Pub. L. 106–367, Oct. 27, 2000, 114 Stat. 1412, as amended by Pub. L. 109–248, title VI, §§612–617, July 27, 2006, 120 Stat. 632, 633, provided that:
“This Act may be cited as the ‘National Police Athletic/Activities League Youth Enrichment Act of 2000’.
“Congress makes the following findings:
“(1) The goals of the Police Athletic/Activities League are to—
“(A) increase the academic success of youth participants in PAL programs;
“(B) promote a safe, healthy environment for youth under the supervision of law enforcement personnel where mutual trust and respect can be built;
“(C) develop life enhancing character and leadership skills in young people;
“(D) increase school attendance by providing alternatives to suspensions and expulsions;
“(E) reduce the juvenile crime rate in participating designated communities and the number of police calls involving juveniles during nonschool hours;
“(F) provide youths with alternatives to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and gang activity;
“(G) create positive communications and interaction between youth and law enforcement personnel; and
“(H) prepare youth for the workplace.
“(2) The Police Athletic/Activities League, during its 90-year history as a national organization, has proven to be a positive force in the communities it serves.
“(3) The Police Athletic/Activities League is a network of 1,700 facilities serving over 3,000 communities. There are 350 PAL chapters throughout the United States, the Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, serving 2,000,000 youth, ages 5 to 18, nationwide.
“(4) Based on PAL chapter demographics, approximately 85 percent of the youths who benefit from PAL programs live in inner cities and urban areas.
“(5) PAL chapters are locally operated, volunteer-driven organizations. Although most PAL chapters are sponsored by a law enforcement agency, PAL chapters rarely receive direct funding from law enforcement agencies and are dependent in large part on support from the private sector, such as individuals, business leaders, corporations, and foundations. PAL chapters have been exceptionally successful in balancing public funds with private sector donations and maximizing community involvement.
“(6) Today's youth face far greater risks than did their parents and grandparents. Law enforcement statistics demonstrate that youth between the ages of 12 and 18 are at risk of committing violent acts and being victims of violent acts between the hours of 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
“(7) Greater numbers of students are dropping out of school and failing in school, even though the consequences of academic failure are more dire in 2005 than ever before.
“(8) Many distressed areas in the United States are still underserved by PAL chapters.
“The purpose of this Act is to provide adequate resources in the form of—
“(1) assistance for the 342 established PAL chapters to increase of services to the communities they are serving;
“(2) seed money for the establishment of 250 (50 per year over a 5-year period) additional local PAL chapters in public housing projects and other distressed areas, including distressed areas with a majority population of Native Americans, by not later than fiscal year 2010; and
“(3) support of an annual gathering of PAL chapters and designated youth leaders from such chapters to participate in a 3-day conference that addresses national and local issues impacting the youth of America and includes educational sessions to advance character and leadership skills.
“In this Act:
“(1)
“(2)
“(3)
“(4)
“(5)
“(a)
“(b)
“(1)
“(A) a long-term strategy to establish 250 additional PAL chapters and detailed summary of those areas in which new PAL chapters will be established, or in which existing chapters will be expanded to serve additional youths, during the next fiscal year;
“(B) a plan to ensure that there are a total of not fewer than 500 PAL chapters in operation before January 1, 2010;
“(C) a certification that there will be appropriate coordination with those communities where new PAL chapters will be located; and
“(D) an explanation of the manner in which new PAL chapters will operate without additional, direct Federal financial assistance once assistance under this Act is discontinued.
“(2)
“(a)
“(1)
“(2)
“(A) not less than one program shall provide—
“(i) mentoring assistance;
“(ii) academic assistance;
“(iii) recreational and athletic activities;
“(iv) technology training; or
“(v) character development and leadership training; and
“(B) any remaining programs shall provide—
“(i) drug, alcohol, and gang prevention activities;
“(ii) health and nutrition counseling;
“(iii) cultural and social programs;
“(iv) conflict resolution training, anger management, and peer pressure training;
“(v) job skill preparation activities; or
“(vi) Youth Police Athletic/Activities League Conferences or Youth Forums.
“(b)
“(1) use volunteers from businesses, academic communities, social organizations, and law enforcement organizations to serve as mentors or to assist in other ways;
“(2) ensure that youth in the local community participate in designing the after-school activities;
“(3) develop creative methods of conducting outreach to youth in the community;
“(4) request donations of computer equipment and other materials and equipment; and
“(5) work with State and local park and recreation agencies so that activities funded with amounts made available under a grant under this Act will not duplicate activities funded from other sources in the community served.
“(a)
“(b)
“(a)
“(b)
“(1) not less than 2 percent shall be used for research and evaluation of the grant program under this Act;
“(2) not less than 1 percent shall be used for technical assistance related to the use of amounts made available under grants awarded under this Act; and
“(3) not less than 1 percent shall be used for the management and administration of the grant program under this Act, except that the total amount made available under this paragraph for administration of that program shall not exceed 6 percent.”

“(6) Building technology centers and providing integrated content and full-time staffing at those centers in the Boys and Girls Clubs of America nationwide will help foster education, job training, and an alternative to crime for at-risk youth.
“(7) Partnerships between the public sector and the private sector are an effective way of providing after-school technology programs in the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
“(8) PowerUp: Bridging the Digital Divide is an entity comprised of more than a dozen nonprofit organizations, major corporations, and Federal agencies that have joined together to launch a major new initiative to help ensure that America's underserved young people acquire the skills, experiences, and resources they need to succeed in the digital age.
“(9) Bringing PowerUp into the Boys and Girls Clubs of America will be an effective way to ensure that our youth have a safe, crime-free environment in which to learn the technological skills they need to close the divide between young people who have access to computer-based information and technology-related skills and those who do not.
