Ever thought about becoming a Congressional Page? What is a Congressional Page you ask? Well if you are a DC resident about to be in 11th Grade you should STRONGLY consider this program!
United States House of Representatives Page Program is a program run by the United States House of Representatives, under the office of the Clerk of the House, in which appointed high school juniors act as non-partisan federal employees in the House of Representatives, (although they do work for the party members of the party of their sponsoring Representative ) providing supplemental administrative support to House operations in a variety of capacities in Washington, D.C. at the United States Capitol. -United States House of Representatives Wiki Page
So basically you get to be on the House Floor and see history in the making by helping the House Floor move through paper work and various tasks. When you are not on “The Hill” then you are in classes like you would be in school. My close friend Robyn from High School was a Page for a Utah Senator back in ‘99 and she LOVED it! I was also able to intern in the US Senate back in the summer of 2004 and it was the best decision I ever made. It is the reason I chose to go into public health and it is the reason I fell in love with DC and vowed to move back to the District the day I left the District.
