Nationally, students who graduate from high school are far more likely to earn higher wages, find stable employment, and enjoy better long-term health outcomes. When a girl graduates and pursues college, her lifetime earning potential increases by more than $1 million. Yet only 66% of young women in the U.S. enroll in college, and that number drops dramatically for girls facing trauma, instability, or academic challenges. At Pace, those odds are changing: 9 out of 10 girls are engaged in school or employed after completing the program.

That’s because at Pace, graduation isn’t just about earning a diploma. Girls receive individualized academic support, counseling, and life-skills training that help them heal, grow, and plan for what comes next. They graduate with resilience, purpose, and a path forward.

And right now, every gift goes twice as far. Thanks to a generous $500,000 matching gift, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar—doubling access to the academic support, mental health services, and college and career readiness programs girls need to succeed. At a time when many students are still recovering from academic and emotional setbacks, this match ensures we can meet their needs immediately.

Your matched gift helps provide:

• Personalized academic support to keep girls on track for graduation
• Counseling and mental health services to build resilience
• Life skills training like communication, decision-making, and goal setting
• College and career readiness programming
• Workforce opportunities through PaceWorks, including job shadowing and internships

This graduation season, your generosity can help more girls cross the finish line and launch into a future filled with opportunity. Give today and match her momentum.
