Bill > SR181

This resolution recognizes February 26, 2025, as Pace Day at the Capitol to honor the Pace Center for Girls, a nonprofit organization founded in 1985 in Jacksonville, Florida. The organization provides free year-round academic and support services to girls, focusing on addressing trauma and helping young women develop life skills. Serving 23 communities across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, the Pace Center supports over 3,000 girls annually through education, counseling, training, and advocacy. The resolution highlights the center's gender-responsive approach and its successful early intervention model, which has proven effective in reducing unemployment and lowering recidivism rates among participants. The Senate formally acknowledges the organization's significant contributions to helping girls secure better futures and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an official copy of the resolution to the Pace Center for Girls.
