Review for Pace Center for Girls, Inc., Jacksonville, FL, USA
I am a volunteer at PACE Center for Girls Jacksonville and have been for ten years. It is so rewarding to watch the girls grow from victims to beautiful young ladies of strength and wisdom. I see a staff and volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of the girls at PACE and I applaud them for the great impact they are making in the future of, not only these girls, but also the world. I have been instrumental in getting many other volunteers involved in PACE and they all feel the same.

Review for Pace Center for Girls, Inc., Jacksonville, FL, USA
Not only do I volunteer at PACE Center for Girls, Inc. but I have enlisted many of my friends and they find PACE as rewarding as I do. Last week was PACE graduation and it felt so good to see the success these girls have achieved against tremendous odds. PACE shows young women that they can be anything they want and that they have a a future of hope and success.
Review for Pace Center for Girls, Inc., Jacksonville, FL, USA
About every six weeks, I get a group of ladies to help set up and run the Clothes Closet. As the girls "shop" for new and gently used donated items, you can tell the new girls from those who have been at PACE for a while. The new girls don't show much enthusiasm or interact with the ladies and the other girls. But after a short time, the girls exhibit confidence, have warm attitudes to each other and the volunteers, smile a lot and are grateful that people care about them. I love to attend the award ceremonies, graduation, the prom and other activities. You see that these are typical teenage girls who just need a chance. PACE gives them that chance to reach their potential and become successful young ladies.
