Page with the Indiana State Senate

The Indiana Senate Page Program is an interactive educational experience for students in grades 6-12 to learn about state government.

Senate pages have the opportunity to:

Tour Indiana's historical Statehouse, including the House and Senate Chambers, the Supreme Court, and the Governor's Office.
Observe the legislative session directly from the floor of the Senate, listening to debates on important policy issues.
Meet and assist senators with age-appropriate tasks.

Senate Page Program Details

Indiana law allows Hoosier students to serve as a Senate Page one day per legislative session and receive an excused absence from school.

Senate Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays during the legislative session. Large groups may schedule page visits on Wednesdays.
Pages should plan to arrive at the Senate Page office by 8:30 a.m. for registration and orientation. Pages will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m.
Pages have a supervised lunch in the Government Center cafeteria. Pages should plan to buy lunch in the cafeteria or bring a sack lunch. Parents and guardians over 18 years old can sign out a page for lunch.
