I became a Pace Miami Board member in 2017 after I was invited to visit the Center and meet with the Executive Director. I was impressed with the service, support system and academic excellence these girls were afforded the opportunity to have. As the current Pace Miami Board Chair I understand even more how important it is to have a place that cares about your trauma and/or academic needs as a female all at the same time. As our youth are our future our young ladies will play a vital role in that future. Pace allows for the girls to overcome any obstacles academically and any trauma related issues they are encountering and give them hope, guidance and a support system for a successful future. They need the community support and we need them to be great. 

Pace Miami opened its doors to the Miami Community on March 6, 2014. Pace Miami is an innovative prevention and intervention program that addresses the needs of Girls from the ages of 11-17, who have suffered trauma and consequently are failing in school or at risk of becoming involved in the Juvenile Justice system. The model is an holistic approach combining academic services and social services therefore offering small classroom instruction, one-on-one counselling, case management, health and wellness coaching and positive decision making. We believe this model encourages our Girls to find and use their voices and empowers them to realize their true and full potential.
