After hearing a young woman’s story, many times it is easy to identify times in their lives when an earlier intervention could have created different outcomes and allowed for less problems, pain, confusion and failure. These young women need counseling, guidance and support to be able to heal, grow and create better futures. The Reach program will help more girls in our community have their needs met by providing these services and meeting them where they are. Providing these services will require the ability to transport girls to and from the Center as well as to appointments, job interviews and other locations necessary to meet their needs. Girls who need an immediate intervention to prevent further involvement in the juvenile justice system, academic failure, and unhealthy or inappropriate choices will be reached. By providing them counseling and support services, PACE will help girls in the Reach Program improve their emotional well-being, strengthen their relationships, build healthy coping skills, increase academic success, and increase positive interactions. PACE girls of today are future women, mothers, employees, and community members. The girls in this program will receive individualized services designed to help them achieve personal, academic and career success. Educated, healthy and employable women are an asset to our community.
