Kansas Environmental Leadership Program The Kansas Environmental Leadership Program (KELP) is a new approach
to community leadership training. KELP offers an exciting combination of
activities about leadership
studies and research on water
quality. The result is an experience in leadership that will prepare graduates
to be catalysts for water quality protection.
The quality of our water effects everyone. The availability of high-quality water is fundamental for a community to attract new residents, industry and tourism. Farmers and rural citizens know the importance of high-quality water for livestock and healthy crop growth. To ensure the future of high-quality water, it is vital that persons take a leadership role and protect their water resources. The Kansas Environmental Leadership Training is based on the idea of collaborative leadership. While one person can make a difference, it is only through the shared and organized efforts of citizens that long term, sustainable change will occur.
