STATEHOUSE (Dec. 6, 2024) — The Indiana Senate has begun accepting applications for the 2025 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Jeff Raatz (R-Richmond).
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.
"The Senate Page Program is a great civics learning experience for students," Raatz said. "Taking a break from the classroom to see the legislative process at work and the role everyone plays in it is an invaluable way for our students to become more engaged citizens, and I hope to welcome many area students this year."
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.
