Representative Conyers is eligible to nominate a junior in high school to be a part of the Spring 2010 Congressional Page Program. An educational opportunity which allows students from all over the country to spend a semester in Washington, DC, the program gives participants a firsthand view of the legislative process. Pages live in a supervised dormitory near the US Capitol and take classes at the Page School. They also assist Congressmen and Congresswomen and their staff with daily activities such as preparing for House sessions, delivering correspondence and legislative materials, and answering phones in the Members’ Cloakrooms.
The Spring session begins on January 24, 2010 and ends on June 4, 2010. For more information about the Congressional Page Program and Page duties, please visit http://pageprogram.house.gov.
You may apply if you:
-are a US citizen

-are at least 16 years old at the start of the program
-had at least a 3.0 GPA in the 9th and 10th grades
