STATEHOUSE (Jan. 9, 2024) – Grant County legislators 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. Lori Goss-Reaves (R-Marion), 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.
"Visiting the Statehouse is a fantastic way to get a hands-on civics lesson and meet with your elected officials," Goss-Reaves said. "I encourage local teachers and parents to help their students get signed up for this unique opportunity."
State Rep. Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"This is a great experience for students to go behind the scenes and learn more about how state government works," Karickhoff said. "I hope to see more young Hoosiers come to the Statehouse this session and be a page for a day."
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 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.
Students will be responsible for their own lunch along with transportation to and from the Statehouse located in downtown Indianapolis.
