ACE/PACE (Adolescents in a Caring Environment/Pre-Adolescents
in a Caring Environment) Program: is an after school and summer
program for students who are experiencing academic and behavioral difficulties.
|
 ACE/PACE is a
prevention program designed to direct at-risk youth to a healthier course
in life before inappropriate behaviors become lifetime habits. Children
ages 6-16 are eligible for ACE/PACE. The program is for youth and families who
need extra support and guidance.
What Happens at ACE/PACE?
During the school year, youth arrive at the Y.E.S.
House every day  after school.
Each student participates in study time with access to tutors.
Students are asked to bring a daily assignment sheet with a weekly grade
sheet. ACE/PACE operates throughout the summer to bring continuity and
support to children and families.
In addition to study time, youth participate in recreational activities
(field trips, arts and crafts) as well as serve and learn community
projects, and individual and group education. Education covers topics such
as: self-esteem, anger management, conflict resolution, life and coping
skills, etc. Parents are asked to meet with the program staff once a week
to discuss program goals and the progress of their child.
