Founded in 1973, the Governor’s Page Program gives North Carolina high school students the opportunity for hands-on participation in state government. Hosted by VolunteerNC in Raleigh, pages will grow in four areas: history, civics, service, and professional development.

Criteria

Eligible participants are high school students in good academic standing and classified as Junior, Senior, or recent high school graduates.

How to apply

• Complete the online application.
• Send the online recommendation form to two individuals.
  • A non-relative school staff or faculty member (unless homeschooled)
  • A non-relative adult who can speak to your suitability for the program

*Applications are considered incomplete and will not be processed without the two recommendations.

Activities

During the page week activities may include the following:

• Develop a policy proposal with policy officials from various state government departments
• Learn from government officials about state government
• Plan their service project
• Complete tasks for State Government Departments
• Tour government buildings and historic sites

Service Project

Governor's pages must complete a service project and will spend part of their page week planning a service project that reflects the goals and values of VolunteerNC. The purpose of the project is to engage youth in service and demonstrate the direct effects it can have on North Carolina communities.

Schedule

A page week is four days. Typically, a page week runs Monday (1-4 pm) and Tuesday to Thursday (9 am-4 pm). The work location is the Albemarle building at 325 N Salisbury St Raleigh, NC.

Dress Code

Pages are expected to dress in business attire. Pages should wear comfortable shoes as the program requires walking.

Stipend

Pages will receive a stipend of $200.00 per week to offset the costs of expenses incurred due to travel and/or lodging.

Accommodations

Once accepted to the program, it is the responsibility of the page and their guardians to make arrangements for accommodations, including meals and parking, prior to coming to Raleigh.

All students planning to attend a two or four year post-secondary institution (including PCC) will need to complete the Federal Aid (FAFSA) form. Any student, regardless of income, who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs. This includes grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.

It takes most people less than one hour to fill out the FAFSA form, including gathering any personal documents and financial information needed to complete it. You will need the following items to complete your form.

• Verified account username and password (FSA ID)
• Parent or spouse contributor name, date of birth, Social Security number, and email address
• Income and asset information (if required)

The Next NC Scholarship is a financial aid program that helps most North Carolinians from households making $80,000 or less pursue a higher education, by fully covering tuition and fees at any community college in the state or more than half of, if not all, tuition and fees to attend any public university in North Carolina.

Students attending a North Carolina community college will receive at least $3,000 - more than the cost of full-time tuition. Those attending a public university will receive a minimum of $5,000, which pays for more than half, if not all, of tuition and fees.

Applying is simple. Students will just need to submit the FAFSA form, and if they're eligible, they will receive the Next NC Scholarship. There are no additional forms to fill out!

Our program is designed to focus on effectively providing a high-quality, virtual learning environment for all students and we ask that families commit to being enrolled for the entire school year. Student engagement is critical in the virtual learning environment; therefore, students will be expected to keep their cameras on during synchronous (live) instruction with their teachers and peers. Attendance will be taken based on this policy. There will also be opportunities daily for students to work asynchronously and having parent/family support is strongly encouraged.

While we are able to instruct our students virtually, all district and state-mandated assessments will need to be conducted in person onsite at our location. Assessment schedules and detailed instructions will be provided in advance of each district and state-mandated assessment for 5-12 students.
