Do you know a young person who wants to learn more about state government? The Washington State Senate has one of the best page programs in the country, and applications for 2025 are open! This exciting program allows Washington students to immerse themselves in the legislative process and meet other students from across the state. Pages spend their week distributing materials on the Capitol campus, assisting offices, delivering messages, working on the Senate floor, and presenting the colors at the opening of the day\u2019s legislative session. Pages also spend time each day in Page School, learning about all aspects of state government. The program includes housing in Olympia and a stipend. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
