Page Program

Page with the Indiana State Senate

Page with the Indiana State Senate

The Indiana General Assembly is a part-time legislature, only meeting 10 weeks in even years, and 16 weeks in odd years. During this time, things are very fast-paced and exciting as the legislators are hard at work getting bills passed so that they can become laws. The Indiana Senate Page Program provides a unique and interactive educational experience where students in grades 6-12 can participate in this process and get a behind-the-scenes look at the Indiana State Capitol.

Senate pages have the opportunity to:

  • Tour Indiana's historical Statehouse, including the House and Senate Chambers, the Supreme Court and an executive office.
  • Play interactive games on the floor of the Senate that help highlight and teach the legislative process.
  • Observe the legislative session directly from the floor of the Senate and listen to debates on important issues.
  • Meet with the Senate staff and get a tour of the working area of legislative staff while assisting with tasks like delivering important messages on the Senate floor and sending mail to constituents.
  • Meet and take photographs with a Senator.
