STATEHOUSE (Jan. 4, 2018) — Applications are open for students interested in participating in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2018 legislative session, according to State Rep. Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo).

Pages have an opportunity to join Karickhoff during the legislative session and tour the governor’s office, the Indiana Supreme Court, and the House and Senate chambers.

“This is a rewarding educational opportunity for students to learn about Indiana’s government while at the Statehouse,” Karickhoff said. “Pages are not only able to get a behind-the-scenes perspective of the legislative process, but also interact with their local representatives.”

To be a page, applicants should be between the ages of 13 and 18. Karickhoff said student pages receive an excused absence from school and groups can sign up to participate together.

The 2018 legislative session began Wednesday, Jan. 3, and must conclude by March 14. Karickhoff said page positions fill quickly and encouraged participants to apply early online at www.indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram or by calling 800-382-9841.
