PACE Center for Girls is a nationally recognized 501(c)3 day program offering year round counseling, academic and life skills services for girls ages 12-17 who are at-risk of entering the juvenile justice system, failing or dropping out of school, running away or experiencing difficulty at home.
The PACE program is designed to meet the unique needs of adolescent at-risk girls by providing gender specific programming to build self esteem and confidence. PACE empowers girls to gain their education and reduce their chances of being involved in or to be victims of crime or violence. At the request of local community leaders and elected officials, PACE was established in Broward County in 1992 and in 19 years has served over 1,700 girls and their families.
PACE Reach Counsleing Center -- Do you know a girl ages 8 to 17 that is doing well in school but needs counseling? We are now offering (at no cost) the counseling component of the PACE program for girls and their families in Broward County. Click here for more information.
Join with local individuals, companies, foundations and civic organizations who share a common passion of making a difference in the lives of adolescent girls in our community. Come hear first hand why this year's theme, Embrace Growth & Change, is a vital guiding principle for both PACE Broward and the girls we serve.
