It’s been another strange, often hard and also really wonderful year to be a Kansas Citian. Our team at The Star wants to know what you’re looking forward to and how you hope to be a part of and care for Kansas City in 2022.

Resolutions get a lot flack, but hear us out. What we really want to hear and then share stories about are how your goals for the new year could help connect you to life in our community.

Do you want to get more involved in your neighborhood or your kid’s school? Support more local artists? Reduce your carbon footprint? Try cooking new things? Get outside to more parks in the area? Maybe, this is the year you want to start your own business? Or try that class at the place down the street?

Let us know your hopes and plans for 2022 with the form below. They may inspire a series of resolutions-themed stories about how to be more active in Kansas City.
