HANSEN ENCOURAGES HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO APPLY FOR PAGE PROGRAM
ST. PAUL, MN State Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL South Saint Paul) is encouraging high school juniors to apply to participate in the Minnesota House of Representatives High School Page Program. For over thirty years this program has provided Minnesota high school students the unequivocal opportunity to experience the legislative process firsthand.
The High School Page Program is nationally renowned for directly involving students in the process," said Rep. Hansen. It is a great opportunity for students to learn how to make a positive difference in their communities through civic engagement.
Throughout the course of their week in Saint Paul, High School Page Program participants are exposed to a wide variety of experiences, designed to provide them with a deep understanding of our state government. Among the many highlights included in each student's week at the Capitol are:
Individual meetings with legislators designed to allow students to discuss the issues that matter most to them.
Experiencing the legislative process firsthand by assisting members during legislative session.
Participating in a mock committee session designed to develop students' leadership skills and to inspire them to think critically about the issues confronting our state.
Providing students with the opportunity to meet with constitutional officers, members of the judiciary, lobbyists, and members of the media.
More information about the Minnesota House of Representatives High School Page Program can be found on the House website at http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/edprog/introletter.asp. Applications are due November 12, 2010.
