House Pages

What is a House Page?

Pages are high school juniors who are hired by the House of Representatives to live, work, and study in Washington, D.C., usually for an entire semester during the school year.  A Member of Congress must nominate any Page candidate. Pages are employees of the House and their duties consist primarily of delivering correspondence, legislative material, and small packages within the Congressional complex. A few Pages are assigned to answer the phones in the Members' Cloakrooms, take messages for Members, call them to the phone if they are in the House Chamber, and prepare for House Floor sessions. Still others monitor a telephone bank of incoming requests for Page services.

Because of the popularity and prestige of this exclusive program, a Member of Congress is typically granted only one Page every 2-4 years.
