Governor's Page Program - for juniors and seniors
Established in 1973, the Governor’s Page Program gives high school students from all over North Carolina the opportunity to come to Raleigh for a week of hands-on participation in their state government. We want the Page Program to represent North Carolina’s diverse communities and help inspire a new generation of leaders.
During the week, Pages will be onsite in the Governor’s Office and will also tour government buildings and historic sites including the Legislative Building, the State Capitol, the Executive Mansion, and the North Carolina Museum of History. In addition, pages will have the opportunity to develop a policy proposal with policy officials from various state government departments.
There is no GPA requirement. Any students may apply in their junior and senior year. There are several weeks (including virtual options) available from January 2023 - December 2023. Apply here.
Please ask your counselor for additional details if interested.
