PACER Center, Inc.

Did you know there are 161,000 children receiving special education services in Minnesota? 

PACER is on a mission to reach as many of those families as possible. Since 1977, PACER has been working to improve educational opportunities and enhance the quality of life for children and young adults with disabilities and their families at zero cost to them. PACER is the only organization in Minnesota that works with families and caregivers of children of all ages (from birth to young adulthood) with any disability.

With your support, we can help families find success for their children through parent training and advocacy, assistive technology, and social inclusion programs.

PACER services include:

• Parents helping parents to become effective advocates for their children as they navigate special education and other complex systems.
• Innovative technology solutions to help individuals with disabilities reach their education and independent living goals through the use of assistive technology.
• Bullying prevention resources, social and educational activities for teens with disabilities, and puppet shows for young children that promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

PACER is relying on you! Your support will help PACER continue to provide programs that inspire possibilities, foster independence, and unlock potential. 

Give today to help us reach as many families as possible that need our support. Be a Champion for Children with Disabilities!
(Early giving begins November 1 and goes through Give to the Max Day on November 21!)
