PACE is a Service Enterprise Certified volunteer program.

PACE completed an extensive assessment, over 20 hours of training and coaching, and an extensive internal planning and change process to better integrate volunteers into our human capital strategy. By achieving this level of excellence and certification, PACE is now better equipped to leverage the time and talent of volunteers and better meet our mission.

A Service Enterprise is an organization that integrates volunteers and their skills into its human capital strategy to achieve its social mission. Service Enterprise certification is a prestigious accomplishment for an organization. In fact, organizations that certify join the top 11 percent of nonprofits nationwide in volunteer management and organizational performance.
