Opportunity: Students interested in government
Each year, high school juniors and seniors from across Iowa work as Pages at the Iowa Capitol during the legislative session, which runs from January through early May.
This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn first-hand about government, work with elected officials, and see how ideas for a better Iowa become law.
Job duties include responding to requests from legislators and staff, assisting legislators during committee meetings, and distributing and organizing materials and supplies. Pages work 40 hours per week and are paid $8.57 per hour. They may also arrange for academic credit with their high school.
The application deadline for the 2009 session is October 3. For complete details and an application, go to www.legis.state.ia.us/PageInfo or give me a call.
