Kansas PRIDE Program – A Community of Excellence
We are privileged to be one of over sixty, mostly rural cities that are in the Kansas PRIDE Program. What is Kansas’ PRIDE Program? How can it benefit your community?
PRIDE is a volunteer-driven community and economic development resource available to Kansas communities.
The program is based on the principle that those who live in the community know it best, but often can benefit from some assistance in identifying needs and potential resources, establishing goals, and developing a plan of work to accomplish their goals and improve the quality of life and health within their community.
The state program is co-administered by K-State Research and Extension and the Kansas Department of Commerce, Business and Community Development. More information about the program and how it can benefit Kansas’ communities is available at K-State Research and Extension offices throughout the state, the PRIDE office at (785) 532-5840, and online:

So now when you see those PRIDE signs in the park, you can see that they actually represent connections to literally thousands of individuals and educational connections we have to help us accomplish our dreams no matter how big they may be! Strong partnerships with the city, community development, economic development, local organizations and institutions demonstrate the effectiveness of working cooperatively for a better Rossville!
