Welcome to Pace Clay
About Pace Clay
For 30 years Pace Center for Girls continues to be the sole provider, in Florida, for gender responsive prevention/intervention non-residential services to at-risk girls. The Pace Day Program consists of three components - education, counseling and case management, and a career/vocational focus on the future as well as follow-up transition services.
Pace's gender-responsive culture provides a safe environment that celebrates girls, and takes into account how girls learn and develop with staff who understand the lives of girls and can respond to their strengths and challenges. While receiving services, girls find a supportive environment many have not had in a long time or perhaps never had in their young lives.
Pace Clay, the 19th Pace centers opened its doors on January 7, 2015.
Our Passion
Since our opening in January 2015, Pace Clay has served over 250 girls.
