Stories of Real Kansans
Your Story Makes a Difference
What is “Stories of Real Kansans”?
The Stories of Real Kansans project is a statewide storytelling initiative led by the KCSF. We’re gathering powerful, personal stories from Kansans whose lives are shaped by their community and policy issues. The goal is to share the diverse experiences of Kansans and highlight the powerful stories of courage, innovation, and community across our state.
These stories will be shared across the state to humanize and personalize policy conversations, educate decision-makers, and inspire civic engagement.
Our goal is to share high-quality stories that reflect shared Kansas values, like community, hard work, faith, and family. For those interested, your story could include visuals, audio, and a civic call to action.
