House, Senate & Governor's Page Program - North Carolinians for Home Education

NC Governor’s, House and Senate Page Programs

NC Governor’s Page Program

NCHE helps to facilitate the opportunity for teens of North Carolina homeschooling families to participate in the Governor’s Page Program by setting aside a week each year as homeschool week and providing help for those who wish to go on their own at other times.

The Governor’s Page Program provides an opportunity for students (classified as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors or recent graduates; juniors and seniors given priority) to find out first hand about the function/operation of state government. The Governor’s Office page program focuses on professional development, service opportunities and educational experiences in civics and history. When Governor’s Page Week activities include visits and interaction with each of the three branches of government (visiting the State Supreme Court and justice(s); visiting the Legislature and meeting with House and/or Senate members; meeting with representatives of the administrative Cabinet). For the NCHE group, an effort will be made to include a visit with the Office of Non-Public Education (the “homeschool office”).

The 2025 Governor’s Page Week

The Governor’s Page program helps high school students grow in the areas of civics, history, service and professional development.

October 27-30, 2025 will be the next available homeschool Governor’s Page Week. Participation is limited to 12 students.

All pages serve for one 4-day week: Monday, 1-4 pm; Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

There is a dress code. Pages are expected to dress in conservative, non-distracting attire and comfortable shoes (as there is a good bit of walking.)

A $200 stipend is provided by the Governor’s office to help defray travel expenses for the week.
