IRS990/Desc0Rural Climate Dialogue: In early May, Jefferson Center worked with Morris Area High School students in exercises to raise awareness of extreme weather and climate issues in the community. Students also distributed energy surveys to their families and neighbors, which helped inform research by the Center for Earth, Energy, and Democracy. In June, Jefferson Center convened fifteen Morris residents in a civic engagement and community planning process to assess local impacts of extreme weather and climate patterns, identify community concerns and opportunities to address those concerns, and recommend actionable goals to address risks and build resiliency through community action.Student Civic Leadership: The Jefferson Center partnered with Professor Lena Jones at the Minneapolis Community & Technical College (MCTC) to support student-led community engagement in Minneapolis. This ongoing project is intended to build the civic leadership skills of students and increase political participation among MCTC students and their communities. This project includes students in disciplines as diverse as health, community development, public safety, political science, and more. With support from Jefferson Center, students enhanced their facilitation, project management, public policy research, civic engagement, and leadership skills through classroom work, event planning, and deliberation. Each semester, student learning culminates in student-run community-based projects.Inclusion & Community Engagement: The Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) initiated an effort to strengthen connections to diverse communities and implement sustained community engagement through the Diversity Profile Project. Jefferson Center is working alongside MNHS staff and the History Museums Diversity Fellows as they develop the strategic framework for the creation of the nations first Department of Inclusion and Community Engagement at MNHS.
