Its overarching goal is to cultivate proficiency in three key domains: empowerment, entrepreneurship, and employment. PACE realizes this mission by furnishing these young minds with the requisite knowledge, skills, resources, and motivation, propelling them toward a future characterized by social awareness, critical thinking, and a steadfast dedication to justice. The program aspires to nurture individuals who will emerge as proactive, community-oriented contributors poised to make meaningful impacts.

Voice Program
VOICE is a 6-month youth program that sparks positive change by harnessing youth voices and power to create more equitable and inclusive communities.
