About Pride

The Kansas PRIDE Program is a partnership of K-State Research and Extension, the Kansas Department of Commerce, and Kansas PRIDE, Inc. PRIDE 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 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. Riley County is fortunate to be home to three PRIDE communities: Leonardville, Randolph and Riley.
