What
is the Kansas PRIDE Program?
the
comprehensive PRIDE approach. PRIDE involvement can cover a wide range
of activities to meet commonly identified community needs. Through
participation in the community development planning process, Kansas
communities have worked to involve youth in community betterment
projects, retain grocery stores and cafes, develop community
celebrations, implement recycling programs, establish food pantries and
social services, and a myriad of other projects to improve the local
quality of life.
The
Kansas Department of Commerce, K-State Research and Extension, and
private sector companies and associations, which operate in Kansas,
partner together to make the PRIDE program successful.
