VolunteerAs a volunteer-run organization, PAGE of Wake County depends on its members to help our programs and events run smoothly. We need help with the following projects. Email info@wakepage.org for information or watch for updates asking for specific needs.

Regional Spelling BeeWe are the sponsor of the Wake County Spelling Bee, part of the national Scripp's Spelling Bee competition. Our bee has 95-100 participating schools and homeschool groups each year, making it one of the largest regional bees in the country. The 2018 bee is March 17 at McKimmon Center on NC State University's campus. Volunteers are needed to grade the exams and to help find financial sponsors.

Super SaturdayWe host Super Saturday twice a year, usually in April and October. Children in K-8 attend 2-hour workshops on a range of programs, including STEM, language arts, and fine arts. Parents attend workshops and explore resources related to gifted children. Volunteers are needed to help solicit vendors, coordinate supplies, and attend classes to aid teachers.

ActivitiesIn 2017, we are starting two new committees: education & advocacy. The education committee will plan activities, such as speakers and workshops, for parents and educators. The events committee will work to plan quarterly outings that are free or inexpensive for our members.
