Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Climate Activism in South Dakota
The Grant to Virtual Internship: Social Media for Climate Activism, funded by a Banking Institution, aims to engage half a million students and teachers in a serious dialogue about the climate crisis. In South Dakota, the priority outcomes of this grant are centered around enhancing climate literacy and promoting climate activism among the state's youth. The South Dakota Department of Education is a key partner in this endeavor, as it oversees environmental education initiatives across the state.
Building a Climate-Informed Youth Population
One of the primary target outcomes is to increase climate awareness and understanding among South Dakota's students. The state's vast rural landscape and significant agricultural sector make climate education crucial for the next generation of farmers, ranchers, and community leaders. By engaging students in discussions about climate change, the grant seeks to foster a more climate-informed youth population. This is particularly important in frontier counties where climate change can have a direct impact on livelihoods.
Enhancing Social Media Skills for Climate Activism
Another key outcome is to equip interns with critical social media and organizing skills. Through weekly meetings and hands-on experience, interns will become adept at creating compelling content and mobilizing their peers around climate issues. This skill development is expected to contribute to a growing network of young climate leaders in South Dakota and beyond, including neighboring states like Nebraska and North Dakota.
The Missouri River, which runs through South Dakota, is a significant geographic feature that distinguishes the state and plays a crucial role in its ecosystem. Climate change affects the river's water levels and quality, making climate activism relevant to local environmental concerns. By focusing on social media for climate activism, the grant aligns with the interests of young people in South Dakota who are active online and concerned about environmental issues.
The grant's outcomes are designed to be measurable, with a focus on the number of students and teachers engaged, the reach of social media campaigns, and the development of interns' skills. By achieving these outcomes, the grant will contribute to a more climate-aware and active community in South Dakota.
Evaluating Success in South Dakota
Success will be evaluated based on the grant's ability to meet its target outcomes. This includes assessing the level of engagement among students and teachers, the quality of social media content produced by interns, and the extent to which the project contributes to a broader climate movement in the state. The South Dakota Conservation Districts, a regional body, may also play a role in evaluating the project's impact on local environmental initiatives.
