Serving as a Page for the Indiana General Assembly is an excellent educational opportunity for students to gain a first-hand glimpse of how the legislative process works.

Students in grade 6 (age 12) through high school seniors may apply to serve as Senate pages while the General Assembly is in session. Students will serve in the State Senate for one day assisting legislative aides and interns with legislative tasks and attending session in the Senate chamber.

In 2024, the General Assembly will meet from January 8th through March 14th. Pages serve only on designated session days, which are generally Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week. There are a limited number of page positions available, and interested students are encouraged to contact their State Senator early.

DID YOU KNOW: Indiana law allows Hoosier students to serve as a Senate Page one day per legislative session and receive an excused absence from school.
