Eli Shreves
Program Coordinator
Eli joined PAL as a program coordinator in August 2021. Eli has had the opportunity to lead in multiple camps involving youth. Eli graduated high school from Trinity Academy in North Portland. He is excited about the opportunity to work with a non-profit like PAL because he believes that it is essential to build positive relationships with law enforcement and the public. In his free time, he enjoys weightlifting, watching rugby, and attending movies in theaters. Eli hopes that someday he will pursue a career in law enforcement somewhere in the pacific northwest. Growing up as a Portland native, Eli has grown a love for the rich green outdoors the pacific northwest has to offer. Eli has won several awards for making an impact and teaching the youth of Clark County about traffic safety.
