INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Senate is accepting applications for the 2026 Senate Page Program, 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 from the Senate floor and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet their state senator.

"Paging for the Indiana Senate is a great way for students to better understand how their government works," Maxwell said. "I enjoy meeting with the pages who make the drive up to the Statehouse, and I hope to welcome many local students."

The Senate Page Program will begin in January and continue throughout the legislative session. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. 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.

Students or parents should submit an application corresponding with the date 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.
