STATEHOUSE (Jan. 2, 2024) – State Reps. Kendell Culp (R-Rensselaer) and Jim Pressel (R-Rolling Prairie) 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 Culp, 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.
"Take a look around the Statehouse and dive into Indiana history with the House Page Program," Culp said. "Jump on the chance to go on tours, learn about the legislative process and work alongside state lawmakers by signing up today."
Pressel said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"With session just around the corner, take a day outside the classroom to learn firsthand from local leaders on how bills become laws," Pressel said. "I look forward to working with student pages from our communities and making it a fun and unique educational experience."
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 begins on Jan. 8 and must conclude by March 14. Individual page opportunities will be on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. To schedule a large group, please reach out to the page program by calling 317-232-9410 or emailing pageprogram@iga.in.gov. Large groups will be scheduled for Wednesdays only.
