The Maine Department of Education (DOE) Student Cabinet is a group of students that meet monthly with representatives from the Maine DOE to discuss educational opportunities, improvements, and policy. The purpose of the Student Cabinet is to provide a forum for Maine students’ voices to be heard.
How to Become a Student Cabinet Member
Student Cabinet members are selected through an application process in the fall of each year based on anticipated openings.

Application Review Process
Applications are selected through a lottery system, ensuring equitable representation across Maine.
The Maine DOE aims to appoint two students from each county based on the application pool.
