Civic Engagement

K-State Research and Extension provides many resources for communities and civic engagement – helping to increase education of boards, communities and provide valuable resources

Kansas Community Empowerment

The Kansas Community Empowerment is a partnership of K-State Research and Extension, the Kansas Department of Commerce, Kansas Masons and Kansas PRIDE, Inc.

Kansas Community Empowerment is dedicated to serving communities across the state to encourage and assist local government and volunteers in making their community a better place to live and work.

Through the Kansas PRIDE program, local communities identify what they would like to preserve, create, or improve for their future. Then, working with the resources of K-State Research & Extension and the Kansas Department of Commerce, community volunteers pull together to create their ideal community future.
