STATEHOUSE (Dec. 1, 2025) — The Indiana Senate is accepting applications for the 2026 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Chris Garten (R-Charlestown).
"Learning how government operates is an important civics lesson for young Hoosiers," Garten said. "I always appreciate welcoming pages from Senate District 45 and am grateful for the way the pages are able to help out my office."
Through the full-day program, students in grades 6 through 12 tour Indiana’s Statehouse, listen to debates from the Senate floor, and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also can meet their state senators.
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and continue throughout the legislative session. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Groups serve together on Wednesdays. All pages begin their day at 8:30 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. Indiana law permits eligible students to serve as a Senate Page one day per legislative session and receive an excused absence from school for their participation. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early.
Students or parents should apply corresponding with the date they would like to page. Once the application is submitted, the Senate Page Office will reach out to confirm the paging date and ensure all required participation forms are signed.
