Dubois County legislators encourage students to page during 2025 legislative session at Statehouse

Applications are live for the Indiana House Page Program during the 2025 legislative session at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, according to State Reps. Stephen Bartels (R-Eckerty) and Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper). 

Bartels 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.

"It's always exciting to welcome students into the Statehouse," Bartels said. "They can learn more about the inner workings of government and see how our laws are made."

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. 

"The page program is a great opportunity for young Hoosiers to learn more about their state government," Lindauer said. "I look forward to meeting students from around the state and House District 63."

Lindauer 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 [email protected].

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