STATEHOUSE (Nov. 25, 2024) — The Indiana Senate will begin accepting applications for the 2025 Senate Page Program on Sunday, Dec. 1, said State Sen. Eric Koch (R-Bedford).
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.
"I always look forward to introducing students to the legislative process through the page program," Koch said. "This educational opportunity teaching Hoosiers civic engagement is a stepping stone that could lead to a career or internship later in life."
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and is expected to run through early April. 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. 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.
When completing the application, students will be able to request the day 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.
