Pace Center for Girls in Hillsborough County has been serving the community since 1998. Our opening came during a year of mass expansion for Pace, Inc. whereas five Pace centers Hillsborough, Alachua, Collier, Pinellas, and Treasure Coast - opened throughout the state that year. Pace Hillsborough opened its doors in Tampa serving 40 girls and, with community and state support, grew to serve more than 2,100 girls to date with their academic and social service needs. We partner with a variety of community agencies including USF, DACCO, the Arts Council and Community Mental Health, to name a few, to provide our girls with a multitude of community resources to best meet their development and social service needs. Pace Reach Counseling Services Program is a unique program that provides free behavioral health services that are strength based and gender responsive to girls who are not enrolled in the Pace day program.
