“Bringing back the Page Program reflects our commitment to cultivating the next generation of civic leaders,” said City Council President Kevin Carrico. “By adding an online application, we’re making it easier than ever for students and families to get involved.”
The Page Program allows middle and high school students to serve as legislative pages during regularly scheduled City Council meetings.
Participants will observe government in action, assist with official duties, and gain firsthand experience of the legislative process at the local level.

Applications are now being accepted for the upcoming council meeting cycle.
