The Civic Advocacy Network recognizes schools that actively engage students in civic engagement opportunities and collects exemplary practices to share with schools across the state. The ultimate goal is to promote civic engagement as part of all pre-K-12 student experiences. 

Districts interested in earning Kansans Can Star Recognition in Civic Engagement must first have their schools apply for the Civic Advocacy Network award.
