Applications open for 2026 Senate Page Program

Last Updated on December 1, 2025 by Cass County Communication Network

The Indiana Senate is accepting applications for the 2026 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Stacey A. Donato (R-Logansport).

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.

“Our Senate Page Program opens the doors of our Statehouse to young Hoosiers so they can experience state government and learn about the General Assembly up close,” Donato said. “The program is such a valuable opportunity for students to grow their civic knowledge outside the classroom, and I highly encourage interested students to look into this opportunity.”

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.
