Congressional Page Program
Pages have served the US House of Representatives for over two hundred year. Page duties include assisting Members with their legislative duties, delivering correspondence and small packages within the congressional complex, answering phones in the Member Cloakrooms, and preparing the House Floor for sessions.
House Pages live, work, and study in Washington and are compensated with a salary. They split their time between studies at the fully accredited Page School in the Library of Congress and their page duties within the House. Accommodations are provided at the House Page Residence Hall just a few blocks from the Capitol and the Library of Congress.
