Congressional Pages
What is a Congressional Page?
Pages are high school juniors who are hired by the House of Representatives to live, work, and study in Washington, D.C. Their duties consist primarily of delivering correspondence, legislative material, and small packages within the Congressional complex. A few Pages are assigned to answer the phones in the Members' Cloakrooms, take messages for Members, call them to the phone if they are in the House Chamber, and prepare for House floor sessions. Still others monitor a telephone bank of incoming requests for Page service.

What are the eligibility requirements for Page Program applicants?
Pages must be high school juniors at least 16 years old by the date their term begins and must have a GPA of at least 3.0. If you are interested in applying to the program, or you need additional information, please call our Washington office at (202) 225-3035.
