Governor's Page Program

The Governor's Page Program enables students ages 15-18 to learn about state government for one week terms throughout the year.  Pages have different responsibilities such as delivering legislative bills, filing, assisting with mass mailings, answering telephones and observing staff meetings.

Pages have the opportunity to tour landmarks, attend press conferences, observe commission meetings and participate in a discussion with the Governor.

While students are responsible for ensuring their own housing, they are paid $150.00 at the end of the week.  Applications are available year round from the Governor's Page Program web site.
