From the outside, you’d think the colossal building on the corner of Beech and Lake street in Manchester is a police academy or substation with a formidable facade. But inside, there’s an elite-level boxing gym, a well-kept kitchen used for culinary arts classes, and a huge area for wrestling and Aikido classes. This is where MPAL looks to serve the 8,600 at-risk youth within a mile of the facility and beyond.
John Rainville, executive director of MPAL, explains that there is magic when officers meet and interact with community members and their children.
Listen as Anthony Payton interviews Rainville on the benefits and challenges of the MPAL program in Manchester, NH.
