Every year the Washington State Senate offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend one week as a Senate page. Through the program students ages 14 through 16 can serve and get a front-row seat to how state government works.
Learning about Washington’s legislative process and our state’s history is an essential part of educating all students. Everyone who completes this program returns home with a newfound understanding of state government and the importance of policy-making at every level.
