STATEHOUSE (Jan. 9, 2024) – State Reps. Matt Lehman (R-Berne) and J.D. Prescott (R-Union City) 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 Lehman, 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.
"Paging is a great opportunity for local students to learn more about how laws are made in Indiana and become civically engaged," Lehman said. "I hope young Hoosiers from our community are able to visit the Statehouse in the coming months and experience the legislative session firsthand."
Prescott said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"It's always great to see the educational experience that House pages get during their time here," Prescott said. "The House Page Program is always a unique and exciting time for local students visiting our state's Capitol."
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.
