Students between the ages of 14 and 16 are invited to participate in the Senate page program, where each year hundreds of students from throughout Washington state get a firsthand look at how the legislative process works.
“The page program is an incredible educational opportunity and a great chance to learn from other students from different parts of the state,” said Sen. Steve Litzow, who represents Mercer Island, Bellevue, Beaux Arts, Issaquah, Newcastle, Renton and Sammamish. “Being able to participate directly in the legislative process can inspire our state’s future leaders.”
Students spend one week in Olympia, where they attend page school, hear directly from state lawmakers and other officials, and assist with proceedings on the Senate floor during debate and voting.
Interested students living in the 41st District are encouraged to apply by submitting an application to Litzow’s office for the 2015 session that runs from January through April.
