Grant Overview
South Dakota targets measurable outcomes in youth leadership development through faith-based training programs. The state's 66 counties include large areas classified as frontier, where population density falls below six persons per square mile. Proposals must specify quantifiable leadership skill metrics tied to American Indian reservation communities and agricultural counties.
Target Outcomes in South Dakota
Scholars must define pre- and post-training assessments for participants in the nine tribal nations within state borders. Outcomes include documented increases in participants completing community service projects registered with the South Dakota Department of Education. Metrics must track retention of leadership roles within faith institutions over a 24-month period.
Why These Outcomes Matter in South Dakota
South Dakota's median age of 38.1 years and out-migration of young adults from non-metropolitan counties create urgency for documented leadership pipelines. Projects must link outcomes to South Dakota workforce data showing 18 percent vacancy rates in rural nonprofit management positions. State demography reports indicate that faith communities serve as primary civic infrastructure in counties lacking municipal governments.
Implementation Approach
Funding supports travel to the Standing Rock and Pine Ridge reservations for interview protocols approved by tribal institutional review boards. Proposals must budget for translation services into Lakota and Dakota languages when capturing oral leadership narratives. Unlike North Dakota requirements, South Dakota filings mandate alignment with the state's 2023 youth civic engagement statute that caps program duration at nine months per cohort.
Measurement Standards
Final reports require submission of de-identified participant data to the South Dakota Board of Regents for longitudinal tracking. This ensures outcomes remain verifiable against state education benchmarks rather than self-reported surveys.
