STATEHOUSE (Jan. 15, 2025) – Applications are live for the Indiana House Page Program during the 2025 legislative session at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, according to State Reps. David Abbott (R-Rome City) and Chris Judy (R-Fort Wayne).  

Abbott said Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 are invited to spend the day assisting lawmakers and staff, touring the Indiana Statehouse and listening in on the legislative session.

"The House Page Program is a unique experience that young Hoosiers should not pass up," Abbott said. "Students can meet and work alongside lawmakers and learn more about the state legislature firsthand."

Applications are live and can be found at IndianaHouseRepublicans.com/PageProgram along with available days during the 2025 legislative session, which started Jan. 8 and must end by April 29. 

Judy said interested students will have the opportunity to page on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session and will receive an excused absence from school. Large groups can participate on Wednesdays only. To schedule a group, contact the page program director at 317-232-9410 or pageprogram@iga.in.gov.

"Every year, I enjoy connecting with students from our local communities and showing them how the legislative process works," Judy said. "This program provides an excellent opportunity for Hoosier youth to engage in civic activities and interact directly with state lawmakers."

Students are responsible for their own lunch and transportation to and from the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
