LOVE Kansas – A Talent Recruitment Campaign Rooted in Community
Welcome to LOVE Kansas — Live Out Valuable Experiences. This initiative, led locally by Sheridan County Economic Development and inspired by a statewide effort launched by Governor Laura Kelly, is designed to showcase the unique opportunities rural Kansas offers — and to empower our students, families, and employers to be part of the story.
Whether you’re a recent grad, a family thinking about coming home, or an employer looking to invest in future talent, LOVE Kansas invites you to connect, share, and build the next chapter in Sheridan County, Kansas.
