In addition to teaching specific skills, a key component of the Changemakers course is partnerships with community environmental nonprofits, including Sipson Island Trust. After students are broken into working teams, community partners then visit the class to introduce their missions and pose specific questions or challenges the organization is facing. From there, student teams spend several weeks collaborating to design proposals, using the skills they’ve been developing throughout the term. Community partners return for a consultation, mentoring students and offering candid feedback—encouraging them to sharpen their thinking, refine their slides, and sometimes rethink their approach entirely. Students revise, adjust, and practice again, a great lesson in how strong advocacy is built through listening and responsiveness, as well as passion. As a final project, students formally present their ideas, delivering polished presentations to nonprofit leaders and members of the school’s administrative team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed7ced627d81815eeb72751/be034ec7-7ca5-4283-9568-e969f1cb5ad6/Presenters+2.JPEG NEWS - Young Environmentalists Meet with SIT - In the end, the native species guide proposal has been emerging as the leading proposal, and this spring, students will meet again with SIT board members to present a more final version of that idea. “There’s something about rewilding an island that really captures students’ imaginations,” says Remillard, “And it has been great to see the ideas that students have come up with, and the back-and-forth with different board members.” For Sipson Island Trust, partnering with Changemakers students reflects a shared belief in education as a cornerstone of conservation. “We’ve loved being a part of the Changemakers course and collaborating with these passionate young environmentalists,” says Alice Ronty, SIT’s board chair.
