DES MOINES — The Iowa Legislative Page program and is encouraging area students to apply for the 2020 session.
Each year the Iowa General Assembly employs Iowa high school juniors and seniors from across the state to serve as pages during the legislative session. The duties of legislative pages vary slightly, but they generally provide valuable assistance to legislators and legislative staff. Tasks include operating the chamber switchboard, delivering messages, distributing legislation, assisting committee chairpersons and sorting amendments. Pages are paid and many schools offer class credit for a student’s work in the Legislature.
Applications for the 2020 Legislative Page Program are due no later than Friday, Oct. 4.
