STATEHOUSE (Jan. 10, 2024) – Allen County lawmakers invite Hoosier students to sign up and experience a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Martin Carbaugh (R-Fort Wayne), Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 can sign up to be a House page and assist state lawmakers and Statehouse staff with daily duties while having the opportunity to tour the governor's office, the Supreme Court, and House and Senate chambers.
"I'm excited to welcome local students to the Capitol during the legislative session," Carbaugh said. "Serving as a page is a great way for young Hoosiers to be more civically engaged and learn how laws are made in our state."
"The House Page Program is an exciting opportunity for students to visit the Statehouse and interact with state lawmakers and staff," said State Rep. Dave Heine (R-Fort Wayne). "When paging, you also meet other students from around the state, and I hope to see some familiar faces from Allen County."
State Rep. Chris Judy (R-Fort Wayne) said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"With the 2024 legislative session about to begin, this is a great program for our local students to visit the Statehouse and see how state government operates," Judy said. "Every year I look forward to meeting the House pages from our communities and making this a fun, educational experience."
"If you want to learn more about the Indiana General Assembly, I encourage you to page during the 2024 legislative session," said State Rep. Bob Morris (R-Fort Wayne). "With this being a short session ending in March, now is the time to go online and sign up to come page for a day at the Statehouse."
Interested Hoosier students or parents can visit indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram to fill out the online application and select a day to participate during the 2024 legislative session, which began on Jan. 8 and must conclude by March 14.
