The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2023 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Michael Crider (R-Greenfield).

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 opportunity for young Hoosiers to experience the state legislative process firsthand," Crider said. "Welcoming students to the statehouse is something I look forward to every year and I hope to see many from our local community take advantage of this excellent program."

The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through early 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.
