State Rep. Woody Burton (R-Whiteland) is encouraging local students to apply for the Statehouse Page Program. The Indiana House of Representatives offers the chance for students, between the ages of 13 and 18, to come into the Statehouse to both interact and get a firsthand experience of what a full day is like involving the legislative process.
“I think our Page Program is a fantastic experience for young students to come into the Statehouse and learn the ins and outs of how our legislature works,” said Rep. Burton.
Pages will get to assist Rep. Burton with his daily activities during their visit.
Students that choose to take advantage of this opportunity will have an excused day of absence from their school. Pages will be responsible for finding their means of transportation both to and from the Statehouse.
Availability fills up fast, so interested students are encouraged to make an appointment as quickly as possible. Those students interested in serving as a page for the House of Representatives should go to http://www.in.gov/legislative/house_republicans/page.html. Please have the first and second choice dates ready, and provide the student’s name, address, age, home phone number and school.
