The Indiana Senate is accepting applications for the 2024 Senate Page Program.

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.

"It is important for Hoosier children to understand how their state government operates," State Sen. Eric Bassler said. "The Senate Page Program gives students an opportunity to learn and see firsthand how a bill becomes a law. I encourage any student interested in learning more about their government to consider applying."

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.
