Community Assessment Resources
Your community—and its needs—are unique, so we designed an assessment pathway as a roadmap for moving forward.
An assessment of a community helps participants to identify their local assets and express their perspectives and priorities about the community's issues. The assessment helps community members to consider possible improvements and create strategies for beneficial and sustainable changes.
Contact our Community Vitality team to discuss the best place to start. We’ll ask some questions and do a lot of listening. We look forward to hearing from you!
Resources
Resources to improve and support your community are described below. For more details, contact our specialists or your local extension office.
What first impression does your community give to its visitors?
The First Impressions program helps community members to see their community through the eyes of a first-time visitor.
Contact our team for more information.
Sometimes communities need to have difficult conversations to create change. An external, neutral facilitator can help.
Reach out to request one of our trained facilitators to help your group, organizations or community members engage in productive dialogue.
Want to involve youth in your community?
Youth Community Perceptions helps local young people to identify the needs and opportunities for a community's future, and work with local leaders to make improvements.
Contact our team for more information.
The Kansas Community Empowerment program (KCE), formerly Kansas PRIDE program, is a volunteer, grassroots effort to improve the quality of life in local communities.
Each Kansas community is unique and shares a common bond: a rich heritage based on self-reliance and community pride. The goal of the program is to help maximize community and economic development efforts by encouraging all groups to coordinate and work collaboratively for community betterment.
Contact our team to learn more about KCE in your community.
