About the PAGE Nonprofit
We are a partnership of educators, local communities, public schools, and colleges working together to create new ladders of opportunity for girls in Appalachia.
Through our innovative learning opportunities, we seek to educate the next generation of young women in Appalachia to be empowered local and global citizens.
At our demonstration site in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we offer learning and mentoring opportunities that begin in the summer prior to a girl’s 6th grade year. Each participant benefits from innovative education that continues year-round through the end of 12th grade.
Over these seven years, each PAGE student will have up to 1,000 hours of contact with our full-year Staff, College Interns, Program Coordinators in STEM and Literature, College Admissions Specialist, and Project Facilitators – real scientists, documentary photographers, historians, and digital learning specialists who guide each participant through interdisciplinary place-based projects.
In 2020 PAGE entered its second decade, and it became an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We are excited to begin our second decade of service with an expanding menu of learning opportunities, a deepened investment in STEM learning for girls, a new High School Program, and a new MobilePage strategy for extending the reach of our programs to other communities in Appalachia.
Our long-term strategy is to invest in world-class educational opportunities for one of Appalachia’s greatest resources: its girls and young women.
Inspire. Educate. Empower.
