Governor's Page Program
The Governor's Page Program, a year-round program established in 1973, provides an opportunity for high school students, including those who may be home-schooled, to spend a week in Raleigh and learn about the roles and functions of state government. Each week, Pages are assigned to a cabinet level agency or Council of State office within the state government complex to assist employees with various tasks. In addition to their daily responsibilities, Pages will have the opportunity to meet the Governor; attend press conferences; participate in service projects, and tour historic landmarks including the State Capitol, Legislative Building, Executive Mansion, Supreme Court and the NC Correctional Institute for Women.
Participation in the Governor’s Page Program is an excused absence from school. To see a copy of the General Assembly House Bill 1464, please click here

Host families will provide breakfast, dinner and transportation to and from agency buildings at a cost of $100 per week.
