PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS INC.

The Pace Center for Girls, located in Wilton Manors, Florida, operates as a specialized educational and therapeutic program designed to support at-risk adolescent girls. Unlike traditional public schools, the center functions as a non-profit partner that works in conjunction with the Broward County Public School system to provide a gender-responsive, trauma-informed environment. The program is specifically structured to help young women who may be struggling with academic challenges, social-emotional difficulties, or involvement in the juvenile justice system, providing them with a safe space to focus on personal development and educational success.

The curriculum at Pace is holistic, blending rigorous academic instruction with comprehensive counseling and life-skills training. By maintaining small class sizes and a supportive culture, the center aims to address the underlying factors—such as trauma, family instability, or lack of social support—that often contribute to students falling behind. The ultimate goal of the Wilton Manors location is to empower these students to break the cycle of risk, improve their self-esteem, and transition back into traditional school settings, higher education, or the workforce with the tools necessary for long-term independence.
