Students should apply now to be Statehouse pages

The Indiana Senate and House of Representatives are accepting applications for their 2024 Page Programs.

Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 tour Indiana’s Statehouse, listen to debates, and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet their state senator or representative.

“The Page Program is a great experience that allows Hoosier students to learn more and get a closer look at state government,” Sen. Greg Walker, R-Columbus, said in a statement from his office. “I look forward to meeting the bright students who take advantage of this opportunity and helping them understand the work we do in the Senate.”

House and Senate Page Programs will begin in January and run through February. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. They begin their day at 8:30 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. Groups serve together on Wednesdays. Serving as a page is considered an excused absence from school. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early, Walker said.
