BE A VOLUNTEER! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

PAL keeps kids safe by providing for them a place to go where they can participate in supervised athletic, academic, and cultural activities. In order to keep all of the activities running smoothly, PAL relies on the help of volunteers to coach, mentor, and tutor the youth we serve.

Volunteering at PAL is important and rewarding work. It requires dedication to PAL’s mission, commitment to volunteer responsibilities, and understanding of the importance of safety and fun in every PAL activity.

There are many ways to get involved.

Please fill out our Volunteer Application, or call our office at 717.686.7642 for more details.

*All volunteers must provide clearances as required by PA Act 15. For more information on that, please see PA Clearances.

Month Wrap-Up:
5 Things Every Small Business Should Check on Their Website Right Now

Before the new month starts, take 10 minutes to make sure your website is actually working for you (not against you):

1. Mobile Experience 📱
Over 60% of users browse on their phone—does your site look clean and load fast?

2. Page Speed ⚡
If it takes more than 3 seconds to load, you’re losing visitors. Period.

3. Clear Navigation 🧭
Can someone find what they need in under 5 seconds? If not, simplify.?

4. Strong Call-to-Action 📞
“Contact us” isn’t enough. Guide users—Book, Buy, Schedule, Start.

5. Security & Updates 🔒
SSL, plugins, forms—everything up to date? A broken site = lost trust.

Save this for your monthly check!

Google uses AI now. Your SEO strategy probably doesn't know that yet.

The way Google ranks local businesses changed, and most small business owners are still playing by the old rules.

AI-driven search looks at your whole digital footprint: your reviews, your site speed, your content, your listings. Not just your keywords.

That's why some businesses are suddenly invisible on Google, even ones that were doing fine before.

Our free SEO analysis checks all of it and shows you exactly where you stand in the new search landscape.
