STATEHOUSE (Jan. 30, 2023) – State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford) invites local students to spend a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2023 legislative session.

According to May, 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.
 
"Pages really are a help to lawmakers and staff during session," May said. "And getting to see how legislation is debated and passed is a great way to foster an interest in civic engagement in our young Hoosiers."

May said pages will receive an excused absence from school and can participate in groups, such as Girl Scouts troops. 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.
