Full-Time Pages
The Kentucky State Senate chooses ambitious high school seniors, and sometimes juniors, who are of high academic standing to serve as Pages each legislative session. The pages will serve a full year, including extraordinary sessions, if possible. Although the legislature demands a great deal of the Pages' time, each Page is expected to attend their school activities according to school policy.
The Kentucky General
Assembly begins session each year at noon on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in January, and works until approximately mid-April in 60 day session
years and the end of March in 30 day sessions. Serving as a Page in a professional working environment will contribute to the participant’s confidence and self-esteem. Because Pages learn to accept a large degree of personal responsibility for their work, the Page experience helps prepare them for the future demands of their academic and professional careers.
Pages also develop meaningful friendships with others and a sense of belonging to a time-honored tradition of public service. They meet and relate to a large group of people from around the state and begin learning how to make good personal decisions as they manage their finances, transportation, work demands, housing, and new friendships.
Pages will be expected to be pleasant, courteous, and helpful to all persons. Adherence to all legislative policies and procedures is expected.
The use of illegal drugs or alcohol may result in immediate dismissal. Pages report to work each day one hour prior to the beginning of session and will leave upon completion of their legislative duties after the Senate adjourns for the day. Pages are paid by the day at a rate of $52.00.
All Pages wear a navy blazer with the seal of the Commonwealth of Kentucky embroidered on it. This blazer will be provided to them by the Senate while they are employed. They are also expected to wear gray dress slacks or khaki pants or skirts and white or blue dress shirts. Decorum on the Senate floor is of the utmost importance at all times. It is improper to chew gum or eat while serving as a Page in the Senate Chamber. Cell phones should also be turned off while the Senate is in session.
Duties of a Senate Full-Time Page
On a rotating basis, Pages are assigned to the chairs in the front of the chamber for general assignments, and to the Amendment Clerk's office as well. While in either position, Pages respond to requests from Senators and staff at their desks in the chamber and sometimes assist with the handling of Senate materials and supplies. Pages are supervised by the Amendments Clerk who ultimately answers to the Chief Clerk of the Senate.
How to apply to be a Full-Time Page
If interested in becoming a full-time Page of the Senate, one must contact the Chief Clerk of the Senate Donna Robinson Holiday at 502-564-5320 or email

The Clerk may then contact you at a later date for a job interview. The clerk will also contact all area schools to make sure that the applicant is of high academic standing and is eligible to serve as a Page for the year.
