About KIDS COUNT in Delaware
One of fifty-three similar projects throughout the US and its territories funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, KIDS COUNT in Delaware is housed in the Center for Community Research and Service at the University of Delaware and led by a board of committed and concerned child and family advocates from the public and private sectors. KIDS COUNT in Delaware is especially grateful for the support of the University of Delaware and the State of Delaware.
Our Mission
The mission of KIDS COUNT in Delaware is to be the authoritative source of key data about the well-being of children and their families in Delaware, and will use the data as a catalyst to form collaborative partnerships with those who can improve their status.
Who We Are and What We Do
KIDS COUNT in Delaware seeks to initiate and influence broad change that makes a positive difference for all children and families in Delaware, rather than assisting children individually through direct services. We do this by compiling, analyzing and sharing accurate, up-to-date statistics and research on child well-being indicators with people and policymakers statewide. Devoted to improving the well-being of Delaware’s children and families, KIDS COUNT in Delaware uses highly credible research, data collection and education to initiate change on behalf of children. Our work positively influences the knowledge, attitudes and ultimately the actions of a broad cross-section of people across the state to address issues that affect our children.
