Program Fees at PALS

Learning is powerful — and we are here to make it accessible to everyone.

We ask for a small fee from learners to help keep our programs running smoothly and effectively. These fees help with training your tutors, creating learning activities for you, and providing ongoing support to you throughout the year. Our goal is to keep learning accessible while encouraging commitment.
