Building BLOCKS for PACE

The Builders Association of North Central Florida has taken on another great community project!  Just like the work we did with building the new Reichert House, this project will also benefit children in our community.  PACE Center for Girls is a nonresidential program for girls ages 12-18 who are experiencing difficulty or conflict in school and at home.  PACE’s purpose is to intervene and prevent high school drop-outs, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol addiction, and welfare dependency.  PACE promotes and enables these young women to complete their education, build self-esteem, and develop personal, social and family relationship skills.  AND IT WORKS!

In order to serve more girls in our community, the PACE Center is in desperate need of a renovation and expansion of its current facility.  Long-time BANCF members Tom and Susan Spain have generously donated their services to design the expansion, coordinate the project and supervise the construction. 

If you are interested in participating in the Building BLOCKS for PACE program, please contact Jennifer Martin at the BANCF office.
