The Partnership for Appalachian Girls’ Education (PAGE) provides innovative learning opportunities for adolescent girls in Appalachia. It is designed to help rural mountain girls enter a world that is global, digitally connected, and navigated through literacy and leadership skills.
PAGE girls create advanced learning projects in a Digital Learning Lab, read books, think critically and creatively, and discover new ways of achieving their dreams.
Please join us in the movement to help rural girls learn 21st century skills and become young leaders for a changing Appalachia.
These projects, produced in the program, take you on a journey inside the lives of PAGE girls and cast some of the most treasured things girls have inherited – home, family, their beautiful farms and mountains – in a new form for today’s world.
Girls from rural Madison County, North Carolina can participate in our middle school program for four consecutive years, from 6th-9th grade. PAGE girls benefit from innovative, 21st century learning opportunities in our summer program and across the school year.
Each year, high school girls in 11th grade who have participated in PAGE are eligible to apply for selective positions as High School Interns. Two-three High School Internships are offered each year to local high school girls with college dreams.
Our college internships are offered through a competitive application process. Six interns are chosen each year from Duke University, our university partner. PAGE Interns spend nine weeks living and working in Madison County, and enjoy further leadership and service opportunities on campus.
One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.
