PACE Center for Girls Jacksonville is located in Duval County and was founded in 1985. When girls come to PACE, staff focus is to help them heal and grow. Many of these young ladies have lived through a variety of issues such as abuse, trauma, and neglect. PACE cannot do it alone. It is through their partnerships with individuals, groups, organizations, and businesses that are able to successfully change the community…one girl at a time.

Since opening, PACE Jacksonville has served over 3,000 girls. The center is located at 2933 University Blvd N, across from Jacksonville University. PACE accomplishes its goals through three distinct components: Academic, Social Services and Transition Services. PACE Jacksonville is one of 19 centers across Florida.
