Pace Center for Girls Miami provides girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training and advocacy. 

Our philosophy is to value all girls and young women, believing each one deserves an opportunity to find her voice, achieve her potential and celebrate a life defined by responsibility, dignity, serenity and grace.

 Pace Center for Girls Miami's programming goals are focused on reducing criminal justice involvement and providing academic improvement among girls age 11-17 through community-based gender-specific prevention and early intervention services including academics; evidence-based Spirited Girls! 

Life Management Curriculum, counseling, case management, and transition planning focusing on career planning and exploration. The academics and social services components of our program work holistically and synergistically to benefit the girls. Pace's program is unique as it integrates academics, social services and life skill management into a methodology that is delivered in a strength-based, trauma informed and gender responsive manner. 

Pace is recognized nationally as a model for reducing recidivism and improving school success, employment and self-sufficiency among girls by 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.
