The youth attended page school each day to learn more about legislative processes and the Legislature. They also had an opportunity to sponsor mock bills with their peers from around the state. Students also distributed documents to state lawmakers throughout the Capitol campus – including the House floor and committee rooms.
Young men and women have come to Olympia to serve as pages for the Washington State Legislature since 1891. Pages must: be between the ages of 14 and 16; obtain permission from their parents and schools; and have acceptable grades.
Most pages stay with local host families while in the Olympia area. Pages earn $35 per day while serving in the program. More information about the House Page Program can be found at: http://www.leg.wa.gov/House/Pages/HousePageProgram.aspx.
