Pace Students in Service
Each year, the Center works with our students and
community to plan direct service group experiences
for the Pace community. These service projects
give students the chance to learn more about the
organizations in our community, the community's
needs, and post-event involvement within those
organizations.
Over the last year, the Center sponsored 17
community service projects, such as:
rebuilding homes that were destroyed
by Superstorm Sandy
packing food for distribution by a local
food pantry
removing invasive vines at a nearby park
painting murals and
organizing classrooms
at a New York City
elementary school
prepping a
neighborhood garden
that serves a refugee
community in the
South Bronx
Pace Votes and Vote Everywhere
Voter registration, education and engagement has
become a staple of the Center's workânot just during
a presidential election, but every year. With generous
support from the Andrew Goodman Foundation, Vote
Everywhere Ambassadors Kealy Costigan '20 and
Cecilia Smith '22 registered and trained more than
400 students last year on the New York Campus.
The Pace Political Action Team in Pleasantville, led
by Alexis Curcio '19 and Florence Lubash '22, trained
student leaders to register others to vote; supported
correct completion of registration forms and absentee
ballots; co-sponsored a visit from filmmaker Christina
Woodhouse, who debuted and discussed One Vote,
her documentary on voter engagement; and provided
transportation to the polls on election day.
