Your voice matters, Lakin!
The Western Kansas Community Foundation is bringing back its Our Community, Our Future initiative for a third and final year, and we invite all Lakin residents to take part.
This is your opportunity to share what matters most to you and help shape the future of our community. Through a short survey, your input helps identify local priorities, spark meaningful conversations, and guide funding toward projects that make a real difference.
Over the past two years, more than 1,100 responses were collected across participating communities, resulting in $30,000 in grant funding for each location. In Lakin, that feedback supported Sidewalk Solutions projects in both 2024 and 2025, improving accessibility and safety for our residents.
If you have participated before, thank you for helping move our community forward. We encourage you to take the survey again and continue that momentum. If this is your first time, we would love to hear from you. Every voice makes an impact.
This is more than a survey. It is a chance to be part of something meaningful and to help guide real investment in Lakin. The more participation we have, the stronger and more representative the results will be. Residents of high school age and older are encouraged to complete the survey.
Additional information, including past survey results, is available through the foundation. We also encourage you to stay engaged and join the community forums this fall when results are shared.
Surveys close June 15. Take a few minutes to share your voice and be part of Lakin’s future.
Together, we can continue building a strong, connected, and thriving community.
¡Tu voz importa, Lakin!
La Western Kansas Community Foundation está trayendo de vuelta su iniciativa Nuestra Comunidad, Nuestro Futuro por tercer y último año, e invitamos a todos los residentes de Lakin a participar.
Esta es tu oportunidad para compartir lo que más te importa y ayudar a dar forma al futuro de nuestra comunidad. A través de una breve encuesta, tu opinión ayuda a identificar las prioridades locales, generar conversaciones significativas y dirigir fondos hacia proyectos que realmente marcan la diferencia.
Durante los últimos dos años, se recopilaron más de 1,100 respuestas en las comunidades participantes, lo que resultó en $30,000 en fondos de subvención para cada localidad. En Lakin, esas aportaciones apoyaron proyectos de Sidewalk Solutions en 2024 y 2025, mejorando la accesibilidad y la seguridad para nuestros residentes.
Si ya has participado anteriormente, gracias por ayudar a impulsar nuestra comunidad. Te invitamos a completar la encuesta nuevamente y continuar con ese impulso. Si es tu primera vez, nos encantaría escuchar tu opinión. Cada voz tiene un impacto.
Esto es más que una encuesta. Es una oportunidad para ser parte de algo significativo y ayudar a guiar inversiones reales en Lakin. Cuanta más participación tengamos, más sólidos y representativos serán los resultados. Se anima a participar a los residentes de nivel secundaria en adelante.
Hay información adicional disponible a través de la fundación, incluidos los resultados de encuestas anteriores. También te invitamos a mantenerte involucrado y asistir a los foros comunitarios este otoño, donde se compartirán los resultados.
Las encuestas cierran el 15 de junio. Tómate unos minutos para compartir tu voz y ser parte del futuro de Lakin.
Juntos, podemos seguir construyendo una comunidad fuerte, unida y próspera.
