ATLANTA, GA—The Georgia House of Representatives and the State Senate are accepting applications for interested students who want to serve as Pages during the 2025 Legislative Session.

The Page Programs offer students ages 12-18 the opportunity to visit the State Capitol and serve for one day during the 40-day legislative session. The first day of the 2025 session is Monday, Jan. 13.

This year’s House Page Program, which will begin on Jan. 27, began accepting Page Interest Forms on Jan. 2.

Members sponsor students from their districts and their one-day service as a page is counted as a day present. Students receive an honorarium and certificate for their participation. 

State Rep. Rhonda Taylor, House District 92, recently touted the Page Programs during a virtual town hall, which included constituents from Rockdale County (her district), as well as residents from neighboring Newton County. 

“Make sure that your children take advantage of the Page Program,” said Taylor. “It is an opportunity for them to come down to the Capitol and learn how government works…It is so important that our children learn about government and civics now so that as they grow older, they are in a position to take our place.”

As a Page, students serve lawmakers by delivering important information and messages into either the House Chamber or Senate Chamber (whichever program they are accepted as a participant). In addition to performing legislative duties, Pages observe lawmakers, governmental affairs consultants, staff, and constituents working together in the legislative process while they are at the Capitol. 

Steps to Apply for the House Page Program

  1. By visiting Find Your Legislatorand entering your address into the search bar you will be able to find your state representative.
  2. Once you know your representative’s name, visit the House Members Directoryand click on your representative’s name to locate his or her State Capitol office information.
  3. Complete the Page Interest Formand email or fax to your Representative’s Administrative Assistant to the email address or fax number listed for his or her State Capitol office.
  4. After your interest form has been reviewed and approved by House Page Staff, you will be contacted by your Representative’s Administrative Assistant confirming which date has been selected for you to page.

Qualifications

  • Pages must be at least 12 years of age at the time of application to serve.
  • Students can only serve as a Page once per legislative session.
  • Your application must be submitted to your Representative’s Administrative Assistant (see instructions under “Steps to Apply for the Page”). Your form will then be processed and sent to the House Page Staff.
  • Please note that the House meets for 40 days, but these may not be consecutive days. Please list your preferred dates on your form, but note that these days may change depending upon the session schedule. T

Steps to Apply for the Senate Page Program 

The Senate Page Program offers students a first-hand opportunity to visit the Capitol to observe and participate in the legislative process. 

For one designated day, Senate Pages serve by delivering important information and messages to Senators in the Senate Chamber.

Please note that Pages serve for one legislative day during the session. Please list three dates (in order of preference) that will best fit your schedule. One date will be selected based on availability.

The first day of the 2025 Legislative Session is Monday, Jan. 13, 2025.
