STATEHOUSE (Jan. 30, 2023) – State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka) invite local students to spend a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2023 legislative session.
According to Borders, Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 can sign up to page, and assist lawmakers and staff with daily duties while touring the governor's office, the Indiana Supreme Court, and House and Senate chambers.
"I always enjoy getting to meet students from back home who participate in this program," Borders said. "I think it's important for them to see democracy in action."
Hostettler said pages will receive an excused absence from school and can participate in groups, such as Girl Scouts troops.
"Pages have a great opportunity to learn, and help lawmakers and staff during the busy legislative session," Hostettler said. "Whether it's exploring our historic Statehouse, delivering messages to legislators or finding out more about how a bill becomes law, the page program can be a rewarding experience for students."
Hostettler said Hoosiers can visit indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram or call 1-800-382-9841 to sign up their student to participate.
Opportunities to page are available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout session, which must conclude by the end of April. Students are responsible for their lunch, and transportation to and from the Statehouse.
