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.
