Student Advisor Opportunities

The Oregon State Board of Education and the Oregon Department of Education encourage incoming high school seniors to apply for a one-year appointment as either a Student Advisor to the Board or a Student Rule Advisor. These appointments begin August 2023 and end July 2024. To qualify, students must be current high school juniors (seniors during the 2023-24 school year) with strong leadership qualities and the ability to deliberate policy issues.

As a State Board Advisor, you will be invited to attend meetings of the State Board of Education* beginning in August 2023 and assist the Board in analyzing the policies, proposals and requests before it. You will join the Board's Administrator, School Board Member, and Teacher advisors in providing your unique perspective to the Board.

As a Student Rule Advisor, you will be invited to attend meetings of the Department’s Rules Advisory Committee beginning in August 2023 and participate in group discussions regarding the development and impact of Oregon Administrative Rules. You will join a group of diverse community partners representing every level of Oregon’s education systems and dedicated to supporting the success of every student.

Students who do not have direct experience or expertise on policy deliberations are still welcome to apply, and can receive coaching if selected.

Interest in serving as an advisor for one year
Commitment to attend monthly meetings and any special functions
Willingness to participate in policy discussions
Demonstrated leadership qualities
