STATEHOUSE (Jan. 23, 2023) – State Reps. Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown) and Zach Payne (R-Charlestown) invite local students to spend a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2023 legislative session.
According to Engleman, 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.
"Paging is a great opportunity for students from all over Indiana to visit the Statehouse during session," Engleman said. "I encourage young Hoosiers from House District 70 to gather a group of friends and make a trip to the Statehouse to experience the legislative process for a day."
Payne said pages will receive an excused absence from school and can participate in groups, such as Girl Scouts troops.
"Visting the Statehouse can really help students connect lessons in the classroom to real life as they watch the legislative process firsthand," Payne said. "Participating in the page program helps inspire young Hoosiers to get involved and be civically engaged."
Payne said 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.
