Grant Overview
New Hampshire's Civic Engagement Gaps
New Hampshire faces a significant challenge regarding civic engagement among high school students. While the state has a rich history of civic participation, recent surveys indicate that less than 40% of high school students feel engaged in civic activities. This lack of engagement is concerning given New Hampshire's tradition of active citizen involvement and the significance of informed citizens in a functioning democracy.
Students from various backgrounds, particularly in rural areas where educational resources are limited, often miss out on the opportunity to develop a nuanced understanding of civic responsibility. The challenge is compounded by a curriculum that may not fully integrate local history or contemporary civic issues, creating a disconnect between students and the civic processes that affect their lives.
The Civic Engagement through History Education initiative seeks to address these challenges by enhancing civic education in New Hampshire schools through the integration of local history into the curriculum. By training educators to utilize primary source materials and community resources, this program aims to foster a culture of civic responsibility among students. The anticipated outcomes include increased student engagement in civic activities and a deeper understanding of the historical context behind contemporary issues.
Eligibility for funding is open to educational institutions and organizations capable of demonstrating a commitment to enhancing civic education within New Hampshire. The application process requires applicants to outline their strategies for integrating local history into lessons and articulate how their approach will lead to measurable improvements in student engagement.
What distinguishes New Hampshire from its neighbors is the state's strong emphasis on local history and its relevance to modern civic issues. This focus not only builds a sense of community among students but also equips them with the understanding necessary to become active and informed participants in democracy.
