What is a Legislative Page?Baltimore City Council Pages are young men and women who assist the City Council during its sessions. Pages have played an integral role in state and local legislatures for hundreds of years. The Page experience provides youth the unique opportunity to work alongside City Council members, in the midst of legislative action. It offers students an opportunity to see, first‐hand, all of the work that takes place “behind-the‐ scenes” to keep the city running.
The duties of a Page are varied, but will typically include assisting Council and staff members, performing errands during Council meetings, distributing legislative documents, answering phones, and attending committee meetings. Pages will attend and participate fully in an Orientation that will overview expectations, procedures, and responsibilities. Pages will also identify an issue which they will research, and advocate a resolution to the council members. |
