The Rancho Bernardo student became one of the 17 young adults appointed ( 任命) to the newly revamped ( 改进的) San Diego Youth Commission by Mayor Todd Gloria in 2021. “Being on the Commission is very important and it’s an exciting new stage for my work in the community,” Pala said. Pala started Kids4Community in 2017. The group works with local charities and volunteer organizations to encourage children 5 and up to do charity work. Since the beginning, a major focus of Kids4Community has been to help the homeless. The group meets regularly to provide meal services and care packages (包裹) to the homeless and those in need. Pala said his interest in helping others comes from the example set by his parents. “My parents moved here from Turkey in 1998. Life was really hard at first, but my parents said they got a lot of help from the San Diego community. They tried very hard to give back whenever and wherever help was needed,” he said. Pala is also chair of the Lucky Ducklings Youth Advisory Board, part of the Lucky Duck Foundation, another charity with the mission of driving youth participation in community issues, particularly in helping to deal with the issue of homeless youth. The young man has just been admitted to Yale University. At Yale, he plans to major in economics or business, because personal funds and private equity (私募股权) are all his interests. “I want to pursue (追求) a career path, but link it with my community and social work,” he said.
