State Sen. Steve Litzow’s office has opened applications for the Senate page program to 14- to 16-year-old students.

The program allows teens to assist lawmakers with proceedings on the Senate floor for one week while they attend page school and learn about the legislative process firsthand.

“The page program is an incredible educational opportunity and a great chance to learn from other students from different parts o the state,” Litzow said. “Being able to participate directly in the legislative process can inspire our state’s future leaders.”

Litzow is a representative for Washington’s 41st District, which covers Bellevue, Beaux Arts Village, Issaquah, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Renton and Sammamish. He is the chair of the Senate Early learning and K-12 Education Committee.
