About Wake Pathways
A free, community-driven resource helping Wake County teens discover real internships, volunteer work, scholarships, summer programs, and more.
Our mission
No teenager in Wake County should miss out on an opportunity simply because they did not know it existed. Wake Pathways makes it easier for students, parents, and counselors to find what matters.
What makes us different
Official sources only
We pull from city, county, nonprofit, school, museum, hospital, and university pages. Every listing links to an official source.
Wake County focus
Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and surrounding communities. No generic national aggregator content.
Unclear details are labeled
If we cannot confirm a detail from the source, we mark it as unknown instead of guessing.
Expired listings removed
Opportunities are reviewed regularly. Closed, stale, or unverifiable listings are taken down.
How it works
Research real sources
We check city, county, school, nonprofit, and university sites for teen programs, jobs, and scholarships.
Accept community submissions
Teachers, parents, counselors, and organizations can submit opportunities they know about.
Verify before publishing
Every listing is checked against its official source. We confirm details like eligibility, deadlines, and costs.
Remove what expires
Closed or unverifiable listings are taken down. Active listings show when they were last checked.
Built by the community
Wake Pathways is maintained by community members who care about youth development in Wake County. Want to help? Submit an opportunity or spread the word.
