STATEHOUSE (Jan. 11, 2024) – State Reps. Dave Heine (R-Fort Wayne) and Ben Smaltz (R-Auburn) invite Hoosier students to sign up and experience a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
Heine said Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 can sign up to be a House page and assist state lawmakers and Statehouse staff with daily duties while having the opportunity to tour the governor's office, the Supreme Court, and House and Senate chambers.
"The House Page Program is an exciting opportunity for students to visit the Statehouse and interact with state lawmakers and staff," Heine said. "When paging, you also meet other students from around the state, and I hope to see some familiar faces from Allen county."
Smaltz said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"By paging, Hoosier students work alongside state lawmakers and staff while experiencing a day of the 2024 legislative session," Smaltz said. "I look forward to welcoming local student pages to the Statehouse."
Interested Hoosier students or parents can visit indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram to fill out the online application and select a day to participate during the 2024 legislative session, which began on Jan. 8 and must conclude by March 14. Individual page opportunities will be on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. To schedule a large group, please reach out to the page program by calling 317-232-9410 or emailing pageprogram@iga.in.gov. Large groups will be scheduled for Wednesdays only.
