Maxwell: Applications Open Dec. 1 for Indiana Senate Page Program

Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 tour Indiana’s Statehouse.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Senate will begin accepting applications for the 2025 Senate Page Program on Sunday, Dec. 1, said State Sen. Randy Maxwell (R-Guilford).  

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.  

"During my second legislative session representing Senate District 43, I'm looking forward to meeting with more local students and helping them learn about our state government," Maxwell said. "The Senate Page Program is a great civics education opportunity, going beyond what can be taught in a classroom, which is why I encourage local students to take the time to apply." 

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.
