This school year, Pace Center for Girls, Broward has supported hundreds of at-promise girls in Broward County with academic support, mental health, college & career goals, and so much more. Despite this year's challenges, we have had some incredible successes.
Our Day Program teachers adapted their skills to be able to provide both remote and in-person instruction simultaneously, using clever classroom set-ups and top-notch technology to keep our girls engaged and continuing on their journey.
I can come to my teacher for anything and she will tell me what I need to change. Jayla, Pace Broward Student
Our Reach therapists kept crucial personal connections with our girls through innovative methods called Front Porch Support providing therapy with lawn chairs and umbrellas outside girls homes, finding outdoor venues where they can be socially distant and safe, or hosting creative outdoor events where girls and families could connect and heal.
Its not every day that you come across good people whose main objective and passion is to help people succeed and, more importantly, be a helping hand to our youth and community. Darlene, Pace Broward Parent
No matter the obstacle, our staff found any way they could to clear the way for our girls paths to progress - whether offering financial support to their families to remove the stresses of financial instability, providing school supplies and technology to our girls, or simply by offering additional motivation, inspiration, and love whenever our girls needed it.
However, we are not quite done. Please consider a gift to the Gifts from the Heart Campaign to ensure our girls' success and help them finish the school year strong!
"I'm so grateful to have someone guide me through this scary journey. Even though these are the baby steps to a long road, I'm happy I made the first steps!" Brianna, Pace Broward Reach Girl
