The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2022Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Brian Buchanan (R-Lebanon).
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.
“There’s no better way for young people to learn about state government than paging for the Indiana Senate,” Buchanan said. “These students get an up-close and personal look at the legislative process and how state laws impact their community. I encourage those who are eligible and interested to apply.”
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.
