(STATEHOUSE) - The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2019 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Eric Koch (R-Bedford).
Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 can tour Indiana's Statehouse, listen to debates and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet with their state senator.
"I encourage students in our area to consider applying for the Senate Page Program," Koch said. "This unique experience allows them to get an up-close look at their state legislature, which may spark an interest in civic engagement that lasts a lifetime."
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through mid-April. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early. 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.
