Pace Center for Girls, Inc. - Endowment Fund

Mission: PACE provides girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training and advocacy. PACE values all girls and young women, believing each one deserves the opportunity to find her voice, achieve her potential and celebrate a life defined by responsibility, dignity, serenity and grace. The foundation of PACE is the gender-responsive culture, providing a safe environment celebrating girls, services taking into account how girls learn and develop, and staff understanding the lives of girls responding to their strengths and challenges. PACE’s goals are to ensure all girls have the opportunity to lead productive, engaged and fulfilling lives; prevent girls from entering the costly juvenile justice system and reduce the significant long term consequences to girls associated with teen pregnancy, substance abuse, dropping out of school, unemployment and long term economic dependency.
