PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS

The Pace Center for Girls in West Palm Beach is a specialized educational and social services facility dedicated to providing a supportive, gender-responsive environment for girls and young women. Operating as part of a statewide organization, the center focuses on helping girls who are navigating various personal, academic, or social challenges. By integrating middle and high school academics with comprehensive social services, the program aims to intervene early, prevent juvenile justice involvement, and empower participants to develop the skills necessary for long-term success.

The center’s approach is rooted in a holistic model that combines small, personalized classroom settings with robust counseling and life-skills coaching. Rather than a traditional school environment, the West Palm Beach location serves as a community hub where girls receive individualized attention to build self-esteem, improve their academic standing, and foster healthy social connections. By addressing the unique developmental needs of adolescent girls in a safe and structured setting, the Pace Center strives to redirect their paths toward higher education, career readiness, and personal independence.
