PACE Center for Girls

PACE is a Florida-based, nationally recognized not-for-profit organization that provides non-residential, prevention, intervention, and diversion services for at-risk girls and young women ages 12 to 17. Pace is Free.

PACE uses a comprehensive and holistic model that integrates social services, education and career readiness in a safe, gender-responsive environment that reflects an understanding of the lives of girls and responds to their strengths and challenges.

The Pace model targets primary risk and protective factors supported by research that increase or decrease the likelihood of delinquency among girls. Pace understands the relationships between victimization and female juvenile crime, and uses a strength-based approach that focuses on the unique potential of each girl, not on mistakes or poor choices she has made.

Once you are on a path to success, you can rejoin your home school. If you are close to graduation, you can complete high school and start planning for college or a career.
