Pace Center for Girls, Inc.
November 7, 2012
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.

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.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Attending graduation and hearing the number of girls who received scholarships and will continue their education.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would not change a thing about PACE. They have proven they know what they are doing by the success rate of girls graduating and going on to college or trade schools or finding good employment. Many are the first in their family to graduate high school.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I collected new and gently used clothing for teenage girls so they can feel good about themselves.

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.
The Great!

I have encountered PACE girls in places of business and they are truly professional. I have heard the choir sing at functions and you can hear the joy in their voices.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Every staff member and volunteer I have encountered at PACE has been a truly dedicated person who loves the girls.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Expand and help even more girls in need of the program.
