STATEHOUSE (Dec. 7, 2023) — The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2024 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Gary Byrne (R-Byrneville).
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.
"This program is a great opportunity for young Hoosiers to learn about government at the Statehouse while watching and helping lawmakers navigate the legislative session," Byrne said. "This is why I encourage local students to apply."
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through February. 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. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early.
