Serving Elko, Eureka, and White Pine Counties
Partners Allied for Community Excellence
ABOUT PACE COALITION
Our motto, "Healthy Communities ... Whatever It Takes,” captures the essence of our coalition’s mission which we fulfill by funding substance use prevention programs, providing special training, and offering educational opportunities about harmful substances, health and wellness, parenting, nutrition, and more.
PACE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation funded primarily by state and federal grants.
To make the most efficient use of our resources, PACE uses surveys and other research tools to assess community needs, identify available resources, evaluate existing attitudes and beliefs, and discover local substance use patterns and trends.
Our Vision
To create an environment in Elko, Eureka and White Pine counties where every person is supported by family, peers and the community and where every individual will receive all that he or she needs to become safe, healthy, substance free, educated and a contributing member of the community.
Our Mission
To strengthen the character and competencies of youth and families in Elko, Eureka and White Pine counties through the collaborative effort of members from every community sector to reduce substance abuse and to enhance proven protective factors that encourage youth and other community members to make healthy choices and to create communities in which all may find support and recognition as valued members of the community.
