Mentoring Children with Read Ahead
Pace University Students and Staff are Read Ahead Mentors
Through CCAR, Pace University partnerts with Read Ahead, a non-
profit that implements a reading-based mentoring program for
elementary students. Our volunteer mentors spend one hour per
week reading and bonding with students (age 5-12) from P.S. 1, an
elementary school about 10 minutes from Pace's NYC campus. In
2017–18, 24 students and staff made this weekly commitment.
Representing Pace at the
National Women's Convention
Detroit, MI, October 27–29, 2017
The CCAR and the LGBTQA Center took 10 students
including Lindita Kulla '21, Digital Cinema and
Filmmaking, (pictured) to the National Women's
Convention in Detroit, MI last October. It was a
weekend of workshops, strategy sessions, forums
and intersectional movement building, tapping
into the power of women in leadership as a
fundamental, grassroots force for change.
Participating in Days of Service
Make A Difference Day, Paint A School Day,
and Setter's Day of Service
In addition to ongoing and one-time
service events, there are also full
days each semester where masses
of Pace students head out into their
communities to give back. Organized
by the CCAR in collaboration with other
University departments, these Days of
Service allow for maximum community
impact. 458 students volunteered
with 18 community organizations
on these days to paint murals in
underserved schools, clear hiking
trails, beautify parks, and more.
