STATEHOUSE (Jan. 24, 2023) – State Reps. Kendell Culp (R-Rensselaer) and Jim Pressel (R-Rolling Prairie) invite local students to spend a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2023 legislative session.
According to Culp, 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.
"This being my first session, I look forward to welcoming students from our community to the Capitol," Culp said. "An up-close look at how state government works is a great way to expand on what they are learning in the classroom.
Pressel said pages will receive an excused absence from school and can participate in groups, such as Girl Scouts troops.
"Student pages are eager to learn about how their state government works, and they really learn a lot when visiting the Statehouse," Pressel said. "I hope local students sign up soon and are able to participate this session."
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.
