There is great in every girl.
At Pace, we believe all girls, regardless of their story, deserve a safe and supportive space where they can become strong, compassionate, and successful women. We make it our mission to provide academic support and mental health services that pave a path for all girls to achieve their goals and eliminate barriers that stand in their way. We are able to provide this support through our two programs, Pace Day and Pace Reach.
Our Day Program offers year-round academic and mental health support, and our Reach program provides therapy in your community at convenient locations. Learn more about our no-cost programs below.

What Makes Pace Unique
Girl-Centered
The ways that girls learn and develop is unique. That's why we've created an environment that responds to their needs so they can feel safe enough to develop meaningful and trusting relationships while embracing their capabilities, strengths and autonomy.
Using Your Strengths
Every girl brings something exceptional to the table. At Pace, we focus on developing these special characteristics. By supporting a girl's talents and positive attributes we help her achieve her goals.
Understanding Trauma
Trauma can alter the course of a girl's life. At Pace we recognize that trauma may be the root cause of unhealthy behaviors, which is why we work hard to help heal and empower girls.
