The program is designed to help students grow in four key areas—civics, history, service, and professional development. Pages will tour multiple government buildings and historic sites during their stay including the Legislative Building, the State Capitol, the Executive Mansion, and the North Carolina Museum of History. Pages will also meet with state employees and government officials to discuss how state government works and how it impacts the lives of North Carolinians. All pages will spend part of their week researching and planning a volunteer project in their communities. This project is designed to have students engage their fellow youth in service and show the direct effect of community service.
