CHARLESTON, WV (WVNS)– The West Virginia Senate announced the return of its Senate Page program.
The Senate Page Program is where middle or high school students in West Virginia can spend a day-in-the-life of a Senator in Charleston. Last year, the Senate was not able to have the program due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Students would spend a day learning about government education in Charleston with their State Senators.
"I get to spend time with students and learn what's important to them so that hopefully I can be a better legislator and they get the valuable experience of seeing it up close and personal," Senator Stephen Baldwin (D-Greenbrier, 10) said.
