State District 69 Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, encourage students who want to learn more about state government to participate in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2019 legislative session.

Those ages 13 to 18 can spend a day at the Statehouse in Indianapolis helping staff and local legislators, touring government offices and learning about the legislative process.

“It is always great to have House pages join us on the House floor for session,” Lucas said. “They get to participate in activities like helping legislative staff with various tasks, running messages to legislators in the House chamber and touring the Statehouse.”

Student pages receive an excused absence from school, and groups can participate together.

The legislative session begins Jan. 3 and must end by April 30.
