STATEHOUSE (Jan. 25, 2023) – State Rep. Lindsay Patterson (R-Brookville) invites local students to spend a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2023 legislative session.
According to Patterson, 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 program is an amazing tool to introduce young Hoosiers to their state government," Patterson said. "As a mom, I know that kids often learn best by doing. By paging, students can see firsthand how all three branches of government function and meet their elected officials."
Patterson 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.
