“PACE is a place where the clients can socialize, share their experiences, and motivate each other to reach their full potential. ”

When I first joined PACE, I thought it would be a strict, fast-paced environment where the volunteers only strive to help the clients meet their physical goals. However, PACE is so much more than that. It is a place where the clients can socialize, share their experiences, and motivate each other to reach their full potential. The volunteers also benefit greatly from this program. The clients have so much to offer, and after a stressful day of classes I look forward to a friendly chat with the PACE members. The meaningful friendships you make while watching your clients reach their milestones are priceless. I experienced the rewards of a career in healthcare firsthand through PACE and I appreciate the chance to volunteer in such a welcoming environment.

“I was struck by and pleasantly surprised at the cheerful, empathetic and helpful welcome I received from the excellent professional staff.”

On my first day at PACE Seniors several years ago I was struck by and pleasantly surprised at the cheerful, empathetic and helpful welcome I received from the excellent professional staff. Also, the on-going support from the staff, student volunteers and other participants in the program was unexpected. The very pleasant social atmosphere is a bonus and the opportunity to connect with the volunteer students an added dimension. Nothing, except the arrival of some excellent new equipment (!), has changed.
