Pace Center for Girls Lee, located in Fort Myers, Florida, is part of a network of 21 centers that have served more than 40,000 since 1985. Our academic classes are aligned with the local public school district, ensuring girls stay on track academically. Girls have the opportunity to catch up on credits if needed. Our Pace Day and Pace Reach programs are offered at no cost to families, and we offer year-round enrollment.
Pace Lee opened in 2007, after Judge James Seals brought an initiative before community leaders to open a center that could focus on the gender specific needs of girls in the Lee County area. We partner with a variety of community agencies to provide girls with a multitude of resources to best meet their development and social service needs.

Stories of Success
Meet Ryleigh
My name is Ryleigh, I am 14 years old, and I have been attending Pace for a year and a half. Pace has helped me more times than I can count, and I am so grateful for this school. Before Pace, I was bullied for my disabilities, and I became very guarded to protect myself from being hurt again. Pace showed me the love and care I never had at school. The staff helped me with my grades and attendance and helped me get out of the protective bubble I kept myself in. I never expected the care I’ve gotten from Pace so it was unsettling at first, but I have grown to trust them and show them my care in return.
