During regular sessions of the Legislature, participating students come to Tallahassee for one week to work in the Senate Chamber, distribute materials, and deliver messages to Senators and staff. Senators may also submit applications for alternate pages, who serve on an as-needed basis. Sponsoring Senators give an application to the students they wish to sponsor. Senators submit completed applications by February 1 of each year. The Office of Administration and Staff Development schedules each page for one week of service during the upcoming session.
Pages receive a minimum wage stipend for participating in the program.
Students are expected to provide their own transportation, housing, and meals while in Tallahassee. Students act as Senators, debating and voting on bills. Other educational opportunities and Capitol tours are planned during session. For more information, read the pamphlet . It's a PDF file that requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
