This paper outlines a unique mentoring collaboration between a joint-use community-university library, a university branch of the American Association of University Women (aauW), and PACE Center for Girls Broward, Florida, “a non-residential delinquency prevention program, targeting females 12 to 18 who are identified as dependent, truant, runaway, delinquent, or in need of academic skills” (PACE, 2013). The collaboration has provided much-needed support for PACE girls and women college students who are primarily first generation and minorities at higher risk of not earning their college degrees. Anecdotal evidence and pre- and post-surveys indicate all students gaining an increased understanding of their personalities, values and strengths. Students, faculty and staff report students have and show a stronger sense of self- confidence and commitment to their education.
