Central Kansas Partnership

Coalition: Central Kansas Partnership (CKP) has been building a vibrant culture of programs and grassroots efforts that promote health, wellness, and rural community prosperity. Our community coalition work dates back to 1991, with the development of Barton County LEAD (Leadership, Education, Action Against Drugs). In 2010, the Healthy Communities Coalition joined the Barton County Partnership to develop Central Kansas Partnership. The coalition now includes multiple task force initiatives that promote quality of life and build a prosperous community in Central Kansas. Simply put, we advocate for healthy, caring communities. Most importantly, WE ADVOCATE WITH YOU; common efforts foster the common good!

​Task Forces: Task Forces work on specific issues such as parenthood, the built environment, prevention, food security, and so much more. Some task forces have been in effect for several years, and others our project-based, all of them are community-driven and the Partnership will last into perpetuity by addressing emerging and ongoing issues. Some fundraise or hold events to meet specific objectives. The task forces may also make recommendations to the Central Kansas Partnership Board of Directors.
