Hey I'm a sophomore who recently learned about the US Senate Page Program and I desperately want to attend. I am extremely interested in majoring in political science in college and feel like this is the perfect opportunity for me to gain experience and involvement in the government.
I am in Model United Nations and a council member in Mock Trial. I also attended the first Millennial Town Hall style caucus in California.
As I would have to do the program over the summer, because of school year commitments, I was going to try and apply for a summer session before my junior year. The only problem is that I do not have any government connections, internship experience, or anything of that sort.
I have been fervently seeking and researching intern positions with state government officials in my area/district (because, contrary to my username, I live near Sacramento (California's capitol)) but it seems as though all internships offered are only available to those either 18 and older or in college.
So now to the purpose of this thread:
1. Is anyone able to offer advice/suggestions on how to obtain internships with state government officials (especially California if possible)?
2. Does anyone have any advice on the US Senate program as far as advice on applying or if my lack of connections are a significance when applying to become a page?
3. Overall advice, tips, feedback, or other programs I should look into?
4. If anyone has paged for Dianne Feinstein and if so can they tell me how they came into that position/what the experience was like?
5. What are the deadlines for Summer 2018 applications
I know this is a lot and if anyone even read all of this I am grateful. Thanks so much.
