SURVEY: Is Volunteering with Girls at a Pace Location Right for You?

In order to protect the safety of our girls Pace maintains certain requirements to volunteer with our girls at a Pace location. Take this short survey to see if volunteering with girls at a Pace location would be a good fit for you. Pace also provides several other opportunities to volunteer and support our girls.

Pace is a highly specialized school program that operates year-round and during regular school hours. If you wish to volunteer at a local Pace center on a regular basis, you must be available to volunteer your time between the hours of 8:00am and 3:00pm. Are you prepared to commit to a minimum of 10 hours per month depending on the needs of the center?

Our program model provides a full range of academic and social services to at-risk girls between the ages of 11 and 17 and each one of our girls has a story and reason for being at Pace. Are you comfortable working with and around a diverse staff and student population?

Depending on your volunteer role at Pace, you may be required to take on-line training courses through the Department of Juvenile Justice. In addition, you may also be required to take a CPR class. Will you commit to taking and completing the courses within the timeframe given and to pay for CPR training, if requested?

All interns and most volunteers are required to undergo fingerprinting and a Level II background screen. If required, are you willing to be fingerprinted and background screened and do you agree to pay the costs incurred at approximately $62 for the background screen, if requested?
