Pace Center for Girls is a non-profit organization that provides education, counseling, and advocacy for young women, primarily focusing on those who are considered at risk. The center offers a safe and supportive environment where girls can work on academic and personal growth. At the Pinellas Park location, like its other centers, the program emphasizes individualized attention, with the aim of empowering girls to achieve their full potential. Pace Centers typically feature small class sizes to ensure personalized learning experiences and integrate academic schooling with social services. The curriculum promotes life skills development alongside academics, preparing students for a range of future opportunities, whether further education or entering the workforce. Beyond academics, the center provides counseling services to address issues such as family conflicts, trauma, and behavioral challenges. The program aims to foster a sense of community and self-sufficiency among participants. Participation in the Pace program is voluntary, and it serves as an alternative to traditional schooling environments for girls who might benefit from more tailored support. The emphasis is on creating a supportive atmosphere that encourages positive decision-making and self-discovery.
