PACE Youth Development Corporation

What is PACE?

The PACE Youth Development Corporation is a dynamic youth development organization. This not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation specializes in creatively exposing young people to the vast opportunities available in engineering and science fields while at the same time preparing them to take full advantage of those opportunities. PACE is an acronym for the name given to the organization’s original youth development program, Program for Acceleration in Careers of Engineering. The program provides a vital link between professionals with technical skills and students with untapped potential.

Our Mission

The mission of PACE is to prepare African-American and Latino high-school students for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Our mission is realized when we increase the number of PACE students who:

  • successfully apply to and enroll in undergraduate STEM programs
  • complete internships or other career focused activities that apply STEM principles while in high school and universities
  • actively participate in competitive academic, community and career leadership programs
