Description
PACE Center for Girls of Palm Beach County began with encouragement from State Legislators who saw the need for gender specific programming in Palm Beach County. PACE Palm Beach opened with the support of the Palm Beach County School Board, the Department of Juvenile Justice, along with many other community leaders. PACE is funded through the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), the Department of Education (DOE), grants and private donations.
PACE is a private, non-profit program that focuses on the educational and social needs of at-risk girls. PACE values all girls and young women, believing each one deserves an opportunity to find her voice, achieve her potential and celebrate a life defines by responsibility, dignity, serenity and grace.
