State Representatives Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) and Jake Teshka (R-North Liberty) are encouraging area students to participate in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2026 legislative session.
The program offers students aged 13 to 18 the opportunity to watch the legislative process in person, tour the historic Statehouse building, and interact directly with their state representatives.
The full-day program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is available every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from January through the end of the legislative session. Group visits are scheduled for Wednesdays.
Students participating in the program are permitted by Indiana law to receive a one-day excused absence from school.
"Students who are interested in civics and government should apply to page at the Statehouse," Jordan said. "Interacting with other pages, House staff, and lawmakers while seeing the legislative process firsthand is a rewarding experience."
Teshka emphasized the educational value of the program. "I always look forward to welcoming students from our area of the state and showing them what the legislative process looks like up close," he said. "This is a tremendous opportunity and a great civics lesson."
Eligible students and their parents should submit an application corresponding with the date they would like to participate. Students are responsible for their own lunch and transportation to and from the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
