The Pace Center for Girls in Manatee County, Florida will enhance safety and security measures crucial for juvenile justice prevention and early intervention programming. Serving over 150 at-risk teen girls, the project aims to mitigate increased violence and mental health challenges among adolescents, often exacerbated by trauma and instability. By improving safety through security camera installations, exterior access controls, automatic door locks, and upgraded surveillance technology, Pace ensures a secure environment conducive to academic and personal growth for girls aged 11-17.
