Thank you to Juneteenth ICT for organizing such a powerful community celebration — and to Miss Kansas USA for stopping by our booth to talk about the impact of literacy in 67214! We handed out books, water bottles, and info about our next Community Literacy Convo on June 30.
Big thanks to everyone who came out to our Wichita Collective Impact Summer Luncheon! We loved connecting over what it means to be a WCI partner and sharing what’s ahead this summer in 67214. See y’all tomorrow at Juneteenth! #wichitacollectiveimpact
Moments from today’s 2025 WSU City/County Management Summit 📸 We spent the day connecting with leaders from across Kansas to explore fresh ideas. Thanks to our sponsors — Hutton, BHC, and Foulston Siefkin LLP — for supporting a day of innovation and collaboration in local gov!
Our Research Manager, Dr. Nigel Soria, recently spoke with KSN about the findings from our latest report on the cost of homelessness in Sedgwick County. The story highlights the $20 million annual cost to local systems—and the growing need for sustainable, coordinated solutions.

Camp Curiosity is off to a splashing start! 🪣💦 Our first field trip took kids from the 67214 summer program to the Andover 13th Street Sports Park Splash Pad — and the giant bucket did NOT disappoint! It was the perfect kickoff to a summer of learning, exploring, and fun 😄☀️
Leaders from across the state gathered this week at Club 95 for the latest Kansas Business Roundtable meeting—focused on Kansas voices creating Kansas solutions. #KansasBusinessRoundtable #KansasSolutions

Public service is rewarding—not because it’s easy, but because it makes a difference. For Day 3 of Public Service Recognition Week, we’re celebrating the sense of purpose that drives public servants in Wichita. #PSRW #PublicServiceIsEssential
Happy Public Service Recognition Week! 🎉 All week, we’re asking the question: “Public Service is…?” What does it mean to you? We’ll be sharing voices from public service workers and community members about what drives their work and why it matters #PublicServiceIsEssential
