Align Credit Union Supports the Lowell Student Police Academy

Lowell, MA, August 28, 2017 – Align Credit Union is proud to sponsor the Lowell Student Police Academy for the seventh consecutive year. The Academy is a summer leadership program run by the Lowell Police Department’s School Resource Officers for students in grades 5 through 8 from Lowell and surrounding towns. The three-week program is run at the Lowell High School and teaches students a variety of important skills such as CPR and first aid, bullying prevention, gang awareness and prevention, avoiding peer pressure, internet safety and the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Academy activities and homework assignments are designed to help students build self-confidence and self-esteem and teach teamwork and leadership skills.

“Align is pleased to help the Lowell Student Police Academy support our city’s youth,” said Align President Ken Del Rossi. “The skills students learn in the program will help them make good choices in school and in life allowing them to make a difference in our community.”
