URGENT UPDATE: The Indiana House of Representatives is inviting young Hoosiers to participate in the *2026 legislative session* as pages, offering an unprecedented opportunity for students aged 13 to 18 to engage directly with state government. State Reps. Jack Jordan and Jake Teshka have announced that the House Page Program will kick off in January 2026, enabling students to witness the legislative process up close.
This immersive program runs every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. until the session concludes. Participants will interact with lawmakers, gain insights into legislative operations, and explore the historic Statehouse in Indianapolis. Jordan emphasized the enriching experience, stating,
“Interacting with other pages, House staff, and lawmakers while seeing the legislative process firsthand is a rewarding experience.”
The program allows students to fulfill civic engagement requirements while accommodating school schedules, providing a one-day excused absence under Indiana law. Teshka added,
“I always look forward to welcoming students from our area of the state and showing them what the legislative process looks like up close.”
Students eager to seize this opportunity should contact the program director via email at [email protected] for more details and application information. Group visits are also coordinated on Wednesdays, making this a perfect chance for classes to engage in civic education.
While the program promises a unique learning experience, students are reminded to manage their own transportation and lunch during their time at the Statehouse. For further details and to apply, visit IndianaHouseRepublicans.com/PageProgram.
This initiative not only encourages early civic responsibility but also allows young individuals to gain firsthand experience in the workings of their state government, fostering future leaders. With the program set to begin shortly, interested students and parents should act quickly to ensure participation in this enriching opportunity.
