    KANSAS PRIDE PROGRAM

    The Kansas PRIDE program is a volunteer-led effort to improve the quality of life in Kansas. PRIDE began in 1970 with a goal to honor the past and create a vision for the future in Kansas communities.

    How does it work?
    • Communities elect to participate and organize a local PRIDE committee.
    • Committee members enroll in the PRIDE program by completing an entry packet available on the PRIDE website.
    • Once enrolled, committee members are required to make local government aware that the community is now part of the PRIDE program. A sample resolution is available on the Kansas PRIDE website.
    • Community members identify what they wish to preserve, create or improve. Then, working with the resources of K-State Research and Extension and the Kansas Department of Commerce, community volunteers identify strategies to achieve their goals.
    How does my community benefit?

    Kansas PRIDE offers communities:

    • Structure to organize and implement community development efforts.
    • Technical assistance and training.
    • A vision for the community’s future.
    • A plan to initiate goals and promote PRIDE to the public.
    • Team approach to address community needs through an action plan.
    • Self-assessment for better understanding of existing conditions and resources.
    • Identification of regional, state, and national resources.
    • Quantifiable measurements of successes.
    • Evaluations on-site by community development professionals.
    • Recognition of achievements. Sustainability of community improvement efforts.
