Do you have a civically-minded 13- or 14-year-old child, who wants to participate in a once-in-lifetime learning experience where they have a front-row seat to Virginia's legislative process? The Virginia House of Delegates Page Program is the program for them!
For 7 weeks at the start of the year, your child will engage in a comprehensive study of the legislative process, meet with officials from all branches of state government, and engage in an excellent personal and professional leadership program, while working in a paid position in the oldest continuous legislative body in the Western Hemisphere. It is truly a cannot-miss opportunity!
As of today, August 1st, the application to participate in the program is open. Click here to find more information on the program and start the application. All requested application information must be submitted by 5:00 PM on Friday, October 18th, 2024.
As part of the application, your child will have to submit a letter of recommendation from their Delegate. If you are a resident of the 3rd District, that would be me! You can confirm what district you live in here.
Due to the limited number of spots in the page program, we have been asked to only provide recommendation letters for three applicants. To ensure a fair process, we ask that interested individuals complete this form by September 1st,2024. We also ask that these individuals complete or show a good faith effort towards completing the official application linked above. We do not want to provide a recommendation on a student who never fully applies because it would prevent another student from having a chance to participate.
After reviewing all applications, six applicants will be chosen for an in-person interview with me and my Chief of Staff. From the six candidates chosen to interview, we are limited to making three recommendations.
Thank you for considering this amazing program and opportunity!
