The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2019 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.
“This program provides a truly unique experience for students,” Bassler said. “They are able to visit our beautiful Statehouse, observe the activity that goes on in the Senate Chamber during a legislative session and listen to lawmakers discuss how different pieces of legislation could affect Hoosier communities.”
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through mid-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.
