Honorary Page Program
Steeped in tradition dating back to the 1900s, Oregon's Honorary Page Program is a unique opportunity for young minds to engage directly with the legislative process and gain invaluable experience at the Oregon State Capitol. This program is a one-day program, designed to provide students with a first-hand look at how the state legislature operates, promoting civic education and fostering an interest in government and public service. As an honorary page, students will perform duties on the House Floor, participate in discussions and activities that will enhance understanding of state government, and will assist with day-to-day operations of the legislature. As a tool for reaching out to the students of Oregon and the world, this program is on par with any legislature’s offerings in the United States. This program is open to middle school and high school students. Program hours are typically 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Thursdays. If you are or have a student interested in participating, please submit an inquiry form here: 2024HousePage
