STATEHOUSE (Jan. 15, 2025) – Applications are live for the Indiana House Page Program during the 2025 legislative session at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, according to Allen County lawmakers.
State Rep. Martin Carbaugh (R-Fort Wayne) said Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 are invited to spend the day assisting lawmakers and staff, touring the Indiana Statehouse and listening in on the legislative session.
"Students participating in the page program have a front row seat to the lawmaking process," Carbaugh said. "It's a fantastic way to inspire the next generation of Hoosier leaders to get involved."
Applications are live and can be found at IndianaHouseRepublicans.com/PageProgram along with available days during the 2025 legislative session, which started Jan. 8 and must end by April 29.
"The page program gives students the opportunity to explore the Statehouse and witness the legislature in action," said State Rep. Dave Heine (R-Fort Wayne). "I love getting to meet students from House District 85 and showing them the ins and outs of government."
"Every year, I enjoy connecting with students from our local communities and showing them how the legislative process works," said State Rep. Chris Judy (R-Fort Wayne). "This program provides an excellent opportunity for Hoosier youth to engage in civic activities and interact directly with state lawmakers."
State Rep. Bob Morris (R-Fort Wayne) said interested students will have the opportunity to page on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session and will receive an excused absence from school. Large groups can participate on Wednesdays only. To schedule a group, contact the page program director at 317-232-9410 or pageprogram@iga.in.gov.
"It's always exciting to welcome young minds who are interested in learning more about their state government," Morris said. "I look forward to meeting students from around the state and the Fort Wayne area."
Students are responsible for their own lunch and transportation to and from the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
