FOR STUDENTS: THE PAGE PROGRAM
![]() Tim with pages
The U.S. Congressional Page Program is a unique program in which high school juniors have the opportunity to work on the Senate or House Floors and watch the legislative process first hand. Pages play a vital role in the legislative process. Their jobs are to work in the Senate and House of Representatives chambers when Congress is in session assisting senators and representatives in many different ways. Not only do congressional pages work for Congress, but they also are exposed to challenging educational programs at the Senate and House page schools. The Page School ensures pages will graduate on time when they return to their respective states and prepares them for college. In addition, the schools make sure the pages are learning as much as possible about Washington, DC and the legislative process. To apply for a Page position, please send a letter to Senator Johnson's Washington, DC Office stating the reasons you are interested in becoming a Page and listing any activities that you have been involved with in high school. Frequently Asked Questions What will I do as a page? How old do I have to be? How long will I serve? Do I have to take classes if I serve during
the school year? Where do Pages live? How do I apply to be a Page? These materials should be sent via fax to Senator Tim Johnson at (202) 228-5765 or via email to Lindsey Wagner in Washington, DC |
