SUPPORT OUR MISSION

Through innovative, high quality, place-based education The Partnership for Appalachian Girls’ Education (PAGE) creates ladders of opportunity for girls in rural Appalachia so they can imagine and achieve their dreams. Our signature STEAM and Story Labs are designed and led by skilled project facilitators - working scientists, historians, and artists - who create hands-on learning experiences and serve as mentors as well as examples of future pathways to success. Our year-round offerings combine interdisciplinary educational opportunities with supportive mentorships that connect girls with leaders in their communities and help them to build intergenerational relationships and lasting friendships. Our approach is focused on the whole student - from skills based learning, to healthy food offerings, to wellness activities - and is designed to help girls value and give voice to their own stories and to the stories of a vibrant Appalachia.

Our PAGE network of alumni, mentors, interns, project facilitators, and PAGE participants continues to grow as we work to expand and strengthen our unique and empowering programs.

FUTURE VOICES of APPALACHIA

Each girl’s learning journey in PAGE begins in our learning lab, where she creates multimedia projects about her life story and her experiences. Girls benefit from using new literacy skills, visual media, and digital tools to tell their stories and connect in new ways.
