State Reps. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) and Tim Yocum (R-Clinton) said Hoosier students who are interested in learning more about state government are invited to participate in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2026 legislative session.
Heaton said pages can watch the legislative process in person, tour the historic Statehouse building and interact with their state representative.
"Serving as a page is a unique chance for students to learn about Indiana government while meeting lawmakers and seeing history in action," Heaton said. "I encourage students to apply and take part in the process this session."
The full-day program is available for students who are 13 to 18 years old. Yocum said pages are permitted by Indiana law to receive a one-day excused absence from school for their participation.
The program offers students a unique experience to learn more about how Indiana's legislature operates.
"Paging with House Republicans allows students to experience the General Assembly up close and better understand how decisions are made at the Statehouse," Yocum said. "I encourage local students to explore this opportunity."
The program begins in January with opportunities every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday until the end of the legislative session. Eligible students and their parents are encouraged to submit an application corresponding with the date they would like to page. Pages are scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on their chosen day, and groups serve together on Wednesdays. 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.
