Page Program

The U.S. Senate Page Program exposes high school students to many interesting and challenging experiences. Students selected to participate spend a semester in Washington, D.C., working in the U.S. Senate, learning about the legislative branch, and living on Capitol Hill. Living away from home and attending school with students from across the country allow Pages to experience a myriad of new ideas, perspectives, and issues. Pages meet and work with some of the nation’s most prominent leaders and witness firsthand the political debates and legislative process in the U.S. Senate.

Pages play an important role in the daily operation of the U.S. Senate. Their shared responsibilities consist primarily of delivering correspondence and legislative material, taking message for Senators, preparing the Chamber for Senate sessions, and carrying bills and amendments to the desk.

There are four established page sessions. The academic year consists of two semesters, the Fall and Spring Sessions. The Fall Session runs from early September through mid-January and the Spring Session runs from mid-January through mid-June. The Summer Page Program is broken in to two three to four week sessions. Summer Session I starts in early June.

*Change to the Summer 2016 Page Program – Please be advised that because of the Senate’s shortened summer 2016 schedule, there will be only one session for Senate Pages beginning June 12, 2016 and ending July 16, 2016.
