The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2023 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Brian Buchanan (R-Lebanon).
Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 tour Indiana’s Statehouse, listen to debates and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet their state senator.
“Participating in the Senate Page Program is a great way for young Hoosiers to learn about their state government,” Buchanan said. “The program allows students from across the state to get an up-close look at how legislation is crafted and how it impacts their communities, which is why I encourage those who are eligible to apply.”
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through early April. 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.
