PACE will be making a short presentation about who we are and what we do.  We will be asking junior high students to consider volunteering for our organization, but specifically for Friend Blend.  Friend Blend is a peer mentoring opportunity where individuals with exceptionalities are paired with students who can play a positive role for them.  These may include healthy social relations, good decision-making, and fun recreational activities.  This is the continuation of a research project that PACE participated in 2013-14 with Dr. Janet McCabe that studied the positive effects of peer mentor relationships.
