STATEHOUSE (Nov. 26, 2024) — The Indiana Senate will begin accepting applications for the 2025 Senate Page Program on Sunday, Dec. 1, said State Sen. Greg Walker (R-Columbus).
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 enjoy talking with the bright, dedicated students who take the time out of their busy schedules to visit the Statehouse," Walker said. "Not only do they learn more about state government, but often they teach their legislators about something happening in their schools or lives that can help inform senators’ decision making . I look forward to meeting the pages from Senate District 41 again this upcoming session."
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.
