Applications are live for the Indiana House Page Program during the 2025 legislative session at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, according to Hamilton County’s Republican lawmakers.
House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) 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.
“The page program offers an introduction to public service for the future leaders of Indiana,” Huston said. “I hope to see several students from Hamilton County participate this year and learn more about the state’s lawmaking process.”
Applications are live and can be found at IndianaHouseRepublicans.com/PageProgram along with available days during the 2025 legislative session, which started Jan. 8 and must end by April 29.
“Learning about Indiana’s government early on can leave a huge impact, especially when students have a front row seat to the lawmaking process,” said State Rep. Chris Jeter (R-Fishers). “I would love to have the opportunity to meet young Hoosiers from our district and show them how their state government works.”
“Civics is such an important topic to a student’s education, and this is a great way to get an inside view of state government,” said State Rep. Danny Lopez (R-Carmel). “I am excited to meet young Hoosiers at the Statehouse and show them how laws are made in Indiana.”
State Rep. Alaina Shonkwiler (R-Noblesville) 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.
“At the Statehouse, students will be able to meet lawmakers and staff while learning more about Indiana’s government,” Shonkwiler said. “This is a unique educational experience, and I encourage any interested students to apply.”
“This is a tremendous opportunity for young Hoosiers with an interest in the state legislature,” said State Rep. Hunter Smith (R-Zionsville). “These slots fill up fast, so do not wait to apply and experience session firsthand.”
Students are responsible for their own lunch and transportation to and from the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
