Details:
Examples of projects/programs that have been funded in recent years include:
- Initiatives to reduce economic barriers for parenting courses with a mindfulness and whole family approach
- Providing leadership opportunities for youth to have a stake in substance abuse reduction and promoting positive mental health initiatives and community service
- Supporting the mentor-mentee relationship between a parent-child advocate and the parent/child to overcome trauma and teach essential life skills

Projects/programs that primarily distribute commodities to children (i.e. food) are not primary areas of focus for the Central Kansas Kids FUNd grant cycle. However, projects/programs that provide other services, like parent education classes or activities to build family relationships, of which providing a meal is one part, may be funded. Projects that focus on parenting tools and behavioral skills will receive priority.
