The Maine Citizenship Education Task Force is a coalition of more than 50 individuals and organizations committed to promoting and strengthening citizenship education and civic engagement across Maine.

The Task Force was established via legislative resolve in May 2004, and is co-chaired by the Deputy Commissioner of Education and Chair of the Maine State Board of Education.

The MLCE Director, Pam Anderson, sits on the Task Force and co-chairs the Best Practices Subcommittee.
