PACE Palm Beach is located in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since opening its doors in 1996, PACE Palm Beach has served almost 1000 girls from the entire county, creating a world of difference in each girl's life. 
Today we are launching the "$15 for the 15th" campaign to support the 15th Anniversary of
This year marks the 15th Anniversary of PACE in
PACE Center for Girls of Palm Beach County celebrates 15 years of Believing in Girls! PACE...believing in girls...even when they do not believe in themselves. Girls that come to us with little faith in their future because so many have little faith in them. Girls that have been marginalized and victimized and enter the juvenile justice system with a disturbing history of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Yet, girls that are strong and resilient. Girls that find confidence and their own sense of worth. Girls that find those things at PACE believe in themselves because we believe in them!
Over the last 15 years, PACE Center for Girls has worked with almost 1000 girls in Palm Beach County. During 2011, we will continue to post special events celebrating our 15 years anniversary on our website. Please join us for our year long celebration!
We are excited to announce we will begin PACEWorks! this summer. What is PACEWorks!? It's a brand new element used to work with girls utilizing an education and career readiness component to receive career exploration and guidance, improve academic success and increase basic employability skills and trade specific skills. Upon completion, girls will successfully exit the program with marketable skills that prepare them for employment or articulation into postsecondary education.
Career/technical skills are the foundation of PACEworks! It includes a course of study to provide girls with the skills needed for entry-level employment. Girls learn valuable job-related skills and use tools of the trade to perform actual job tasks. Traditional and non-traditional careers are included and the curriculum integrates academic skills into each of the career/vocational tasks.
PACE has established partnerships with local businesses, organizations and schools to enhance the PACEWorks! curriculum. Girls will have the opportunity to participate in mini-internships, attend skills-specific workshops, partner with mentors and work towards industry recognized certifications.

PACE Center for Girls is seeking your help in providing an opportunity of a lifetime for our girls. In the fall of 2011, we will be embarking on a trip to the heart of our nation, Washington, D.C. The objective of our trip will bridge the gap between the academic study of government and politics. It will put a “real face to government” while providing valuable insights and knowledge that are not available in the classroom.
The girls will be treated to a comprehensive look at Washington, D.C. from the inside – ranging from a special V.I.P. tour of the White House, a symbol of vigor of American democracy to the U.S. Capitol, where under one of the world’s largest domes – the magnificent cast iron Rotunda – members of House and Senate engage in spirited debates that determine the laws of the land.
