Celebrating 40 years of service to Wayne County!
WAGES
first
opened in 1966 in an old house located near the corner of Ash and William
Streets in Goldsboro, NC. The agency operated four Head Start classrooms
downstairs and had offices upstairs. WAGES was established to help Wayne
County combat poverty.
After
about a year, WAGES moved to the Virginia Street School in Goldsboro, NC.
In addition to expanding Head Start classes, WAGES housed the offices of
the Neighborhood Youth Corps which gave work opportunities to high school
juniors and seniors. WAGES then developed Neighborhood Service Centers
in the towns of Goldsboro, Mount Olive, and Fremont.
Since
then, WAGES has evolved into an agency with facilities serving families
throughout Wayne County. WAGES is proud to be Wayne County's Community
Action Agency for the past 40 years and plans to continue to make a
difference in the community for the next 40 years! Click
