Digital Marketing & Media Strategy Internship

About PACE

PACE offers innovative programming by leveraging a data-informed approach and almost 60 years of capacity-building experience to determine how to best meet the needs of communities that have been marginalized.

Focusing not only the collection of data, but the repeated analysis of key patterns across and within communities, PACE supports their assets and addresses their most pressing needs, advancing the mission and issues of local nonprofits and the communities in which they serve to help bring about lasting change.

PACE seeks to advance a more equitable community by strengthening small-to-mid sized, community-based nonprofits that can successfully build the assets and support the pressing needs of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities that have been marginalized.
