Secret Pals serves as a scholarship fund for children of Fullerton to participate in a variety of City-sponsored recreational programs and activities. Recreation program scholarships available for qualifying Fullerton youth, 18 years and younger.  Awarded scholarships can help a child join in on one of the following classes and activities:

• Dance Classes
• Art Camps
• Health and Fitness

Every child deserves an opportunity to grow and learn from a healthy, safe, nurturing environment within their community. The Secret Pal Scholarship Fund is a program that has been offered through the Fullerton Parks and Recreation Department since 1991.
