STATEHOUSE (Dec. 7, 2023) — The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2024 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Spencer Deery (R-West Lafayette).
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.
"Young Hoosiers need more opportunities to understand how our government works and why it matters," Deery said. "The page program is a wonderful way to get students started down the path of responsible and informed citizenship. I encourage educators and parents to make sure their schools are well represented in the page program."
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.
