About Character Day Bahamas
At the PACE Foundation, part of our mission is to empower teenagers to make good decisions. We know that character education plays a significant role in helping people of all ages in their decision making and this is why we are excited to bring the Character Day movement to the Bahamas!
Character Day Bahamas is a project of the PACE Foundation that is funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation Inc. Learn more about this grant award to the PACE Foundation at this link. Project Link
