PACE_CENTER

The Pace Center is Princeton University’s central resource for civic engagement. It supports efforts by all members of the extended University community to identify and act on the problems of society.

Pace connects individuals and groups with opportunities to thoughtfully address civic problems and have an impact through activities including direct volunteer service, civic action break trips, social entrepreneurship, political action, public service internships and fellowships, and engaged academics.

The Pace Center includes Community House and the Student Volunteer Council (SVC).

• Community House volunteers serve the educational, cultural, and recreational needs of underserved low-income minority children and their families in Princeton, with the goal of closing the achievement gap that separates those children from their advantaged neighbors.
   
• The SVC is a student-led organization that sponsors more than 40 weekly volunteer projects including tutoring, restoring houses, organizing blood drives, serving food at soup kitchens, and visiting the elderly. SVC also sponsors break trips and Community Action, a pre-orientation program for incoming freshmen.
