ST. PAUL, MN—Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, is encouraging high school juniors to consider applying for the Minnesota House of Representatives High School Page Program. The week-long program is open to all Minnesota high school students in their junior year whether they are in public school, private school, or are home schooled, and is a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of state government and Minnesota's legislative process.
Participants will assist members and staff during House floor sessions, participate in a mock committee hearing, and meet with legislators, constitutional officers, members of the judiciary, lobbyists, and media.
“Meeting high school pages from Lakeville is one of my favorite parts of the legislative session,” said Koznick. “I think this is a perfect opportunity for high school juniors to gain valuable experience at the Capitol that can help them now and into the future.”
Applications must be postmarked or emailed by December 1, 2017. Participants are responsible for all personal costs associated with taking part in the page program, but will receive a small stipend to cover a portion of meals and, if applicable, cost of lodging.
