The Suffolk Legislature is accepting applications for its 2025 Legislative Page Program, offering undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in government and public service.
The program provides invaluable networking opportunities and allows participants to engage directly with elected officials, legislative staff, and department heads. Interns will work in legislative district offices, attend committee meetings, and take part in professional development workshops. A key highlight of the program is a mock legislative session, where students assume the role of county legislators, form caucuses, and debate legislation.
“This program provides an invaluable start for students looking to pursue careers in public service,” said Presiding Officer Kevin J. McCaffrey. “Each year, we see a diverse group of students from SUNY schools and prestigious universities nationwide, many of whom go on to work in government and law.”
In addition to gaining practical experience, interns may be eligible for school credit, subject to their institution’s guidelines. Upon completing the program, participants will also receive a certificate of government engagement.
