The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2020 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Eric Bassler (R-Washington).
Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 can tour Indiana’s Statehouse, listen to debates and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet with their state senator.
“The Senate Page Program provides Hoosier students with a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of Indiana’s state government during the busy season,” Bassler said. “I always enjoy visiting with our pages and encourage the young people in District 39 to consider spending a day in the Senate chamber to learn how legislation passed at the Statehouse impacts communities around the state.”
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through early March. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. They begin their day at 8:30 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. Groups serve together on Wednesdays. Serving as a page is considered an excused absence from school.
