Opportunities are Available for Student Pages at the Statehouse

0

Applications are live for the Indiana House Page Program during the 2025 legislative session at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, according to State Reps. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville).

McNamara 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.

“As a school principal in the community, I always encourage teachers and parents to discuss the benefits of the page program with their students,” McNamara said. “Meeting their local legislators and watching session are excellent ways for young Hoosiers to learn about state government.”

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

“Experiences like the page program are beneficial for young Hoosiers,” O’Brien said. “Pages get a firsthand look at how laws are written, debated and voted on in our state and learn more about how representatives work for their districts.”

O’Brien 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.

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