Center for Girls, Inc. }} Pace Center for Girls is a 6-12 education program for at-risk teenage girls, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The nonprofit organization was created in 1985 as an intervention program. HistoryPace Center for Girls was created in 1985 by Vicki Burke.[2] In 2008, the Annie E. Casey Foundation called Pace "the most effective program in the [United States] for keeping adolescent girls out of the juvenile justice system."[2] As of 2016, PACE Center for Girls had 19 locations in Florida with a plan to open another location in Georgia.[3] As of 1985, more than 37,000 girls have been served. The Annie E. Casey Foundation, Children's Defense Fund, National Mental Health Association, National Council on Crime and Delinquency, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention recognize the Pace Center for Girls as a "national model for reducing recidivism and improving school success, employment and self-sufficiency amongst girls."[4] Teaching philosophyPace Center for Girls uses a gender-specific model. According to CEO Mary Marx, whereas boys become outwardly aggressive when affected by trauma, girls tend to be self-destructive and inwardly aggressive. The organization recognizes that a girl's pathway into the justice system often includes a history of abuse, academic failure, and harmful relationships; "PACE is recognized as a national leader in preventing at-risk girls from entering the juvenile justice system".[5] Of the girls in the program in 2015: "31 percent had a history of abuse in the home, 42 percent had a parent or sibling in prison, and 44 percent had moved three or more times in the last five years."[6] Common issues among students are teen pregnancy, mental health disorders, juvenile records and self-mutilation.[6] While a pupil at PACE, students go through life skills classes, focusing on positive decision-making. Each girl is also assigned a counselor, who performs home visits monthly.[2] Services providedPace Center for Girls provides services including nurse case management, family planning, and women's health exams.[4] LocationsPACE Alachua- Gainesville, Florida PACE Broward- Broward County, Florida PACE Clay- Orange Park, Florida PACE Collier at Immokalee- Immokalee, Florida PACE Escambia Santa Rosa- Pensacola, Florida PACE Hernando- Spring Hill, Florida PACE Hillsborough- Tampa, Florida PACE Jacksonville- Jacksonville, Florida PACE Lee- Fort Myers, Florida PACE Leon- Tallahassee, Florida PACE Manatee- Bradenton, Florida PACE Marion- Ocala, Florida PACE Miami- Miami, Florida PACE Orange- Winter Park, Florida PACE Palm Beach- West Palm Beach, Florida PACE Pasco- New Port Richey, Florida PACE Pinellas- Pinellas Park, Florida PACE Polk- Lakeland, Florida PACE Treasure Coast- Fort Pierce, Florida PACE Volusia-Flagler- Ormond Beach, Florida[4] Values and PrinciplesPace Center for Girls' celebrates young women through their nine values and principles of honoring the female spirit, focusing on strengths, acting with integrity and positive intent, embracing growth and change, valuing the wisdom of time, exhibiting courage, seeking excellence, creating partnerships, and investing in the future.[4] References1. ^{{Citation| author = Pace Center for Girls, Inc.| publication-date = 2016-01-06| title = 2016 Florida Not for Profit Corporation Annual Report: Document# N01331| type = PDF| publisher = State of Florida| pages = 2| url = http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/GetDocument?aggregateId=domnp-n01331-69ff80c6-6f07-45fd-bf0a-556f9808e091&transactionId=n01331-2f1edb6f-9801-4fdf-9850-bcfac883f372&formatType=PDF| accessdate = March 17, 2017}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web| url = http://jjie.org/2014/04/21/pace-embracing-the-needs-of-girls-looks-to-expand-beyond-florida/| title = PACE Embracing the Needs of Girls, Looks to Expand Beyond Florida| last = Simonton| first = Stell| date = 2014-04-21| website = Juvenile Justice Information Exchange| access-date = 2017-03-17}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.macon.com/news/local/article84876762.html | title = New program for at-risk girls could open in Macon within 18 months | last = Corley | first = Laura | date = 2016-06-20 | publisher = The Telegraph | access-date = 2017-03-17}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=WHY PACE?|url=https://www.pacecenter.org/why-pace|website=Pace Center for Girls|accessdate=31 March 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web | url = http://jacksonvillefreepress.com/local-pace-teen-testifies-before-the-us-senate-judiciary-committee/ | title = Local PACE Teen Testifies Before the US Senate Judiciary Committee | date = 2017-03-08 | publisher = Jacksonville Free Press | access-date = 2017-03-17}} 6. ^1 {{cite web | url = http://www.pnj.com/story/news/2016/06/08/young-girls-overcome-struggles-graduate-high-school/85563150/ | title = Young girls overcome struggles to graduate | last = Frenett | first = Hana | date = 2016-06-08 | publisher = Pensacola News Journal | access-date = 2017-03-17}} External links{{official website|http://www.pacecenter.org/}} 2 : Educational institutions established in 1985|Girls' schools in the United States |
