STATEHOUSE (Jan. 11, 2024) – Vigo County lawmakers invite Hoosier students to sign up and experience a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute), 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.
"Witnessing session is a great way to learn about Indiana's legislative process," Heaton said. "I hope to see local students participate in this program at the Statehouse."
State Rep. Alan Morrison (R-Brazil) said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"The Statehouse is a great place to learn about Indiana's history," Morrison said. "Students can get an excused absence from school and page with a group of friends."
"It's always exciting to welcome students from back home to the Statehouse," said State Rep. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville). "Those who are interested in paging shouldn't wait to sign up, as slots are limited and fill quickly."
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 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.
Students will be responsible for their own lunch along with transportation to and from the Statehouse located in downtown Indianapolis.
