Pace Center for Girls, Lee

Pace Center for Girls, Lee Pace provides girls an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, and training.

PPace is a nonprofit organization that has served more than 40,000 girls since 1985. We believe all girls, regardless of their story, deserve a safe and supportive space where they can become strong, compassionate, and successful women. Pace combines education, counseling, and life skills coaching for girls in middle and high school at no cost. Our year-round academics and mental health supports work hand-in-hand to achieve a holistic and comprehensive path to success. The Pace Reach Program provides therapy where you are, offering social, emotional, and behavioral health and case management services for girls ages 11-17 and their families at no cost. Reach helps girls build relationships, learn communication skills, build positive coping skills, improve grades and more from the comfort of familiar places

Yesterday, we welcomed our Pace girls and their families for our family open house!

Families had the opportunity to visit classrooms meet with teachers and counselors, learn more about the school year and win some exciting raffle prizes.

We are so grateful for the families who partner with us to support each girl throughout her journey. Creating strong connections between home and Pace helps our girls feel supported, encouraged and ready to succeed. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a great afternoon together!

Here's what we love about our SWFL community: a girl states a need, we make a call/send an email/shoot a text. And like magic, the need is met like Jasmin and her bike. Not always immediately but dang near. If you've done something, any little thing, to help our Pace girls, know that you've contributed to impacting their lives. And every small thing counts!

Like bees to honey are our girls to the weekly bread and sweet treats Publix provides. We are so thankful that from their excess, our girls receive some joy! And also for the volunteers who make the trek to north Cape Coral to hand deliver happiness to our front door.

Celebrating Girls Night In has the potential to look different at each different location. One may be wine and appetizers, another pajamas and pizza. Or maybe book club. Or Mahjong. Maybe trivia or a dinner meet-up at your fav food place. The beauty of Girls Night In is there is no required format. You do you! And share about Pace.

To get you started, here is the host guide: https://www.pacecenter.org/get-involved/girls-night-in/. If any questions, feel free to email [email protected].

What better way to see the mission in action than to have Lyvia, one of our Pace girls, attend the volunteer fair at Florida Gulf Coast University with volunteer coordinator Renee? This is the same student whose goal when she started Pace was to be able to raise her hand in class to ask a question. In addition to encouraging FGCU students to earn their service-learning hours volunteering at Pace, Lyvia also helped with compiling a spreadsheet of all students who were interested in opportunities to benefit our girls.
