Our Mission
To expose, educate, and inspire youths towards excellence in careers of math,
science, engineering and other disciplines.
The primary goal of the organization is to increase the number and preparedness of
students of African descent pursuing careers in technical fields.
The primary strategy of the organization is to establish PACE YDC Branches in targeted
areas of the country. These branches operate a Saturday morning youth development
program targeted for high school aged youths called the Program for Acceleration in
Careers of Engineering (PACE). Through the program, participants:
 | engage in hands-on learning experiences |
 | interact with local engineers and other professionals |
 | enhance their math, problem-solving, and analytical thinking skills |
 | learn about the contributions to science and technology by people of African
descent. |
