Abstract
The Center for the Study of Children's Futures gathers a variety of data and resource materials throughout the year. Center staff continue to explore database elements to expand the ongoing development of a comprehensive snapshot on the conditions of Florida's children.
The Florida KIDS COUNT Project, established in 1992 and housed within the Center, continues to highlight core child well-being indicators utilized by KIDS COUNT. This activity supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation strives to raise public awareness of children's issues and promote public accountability for improving outcomes for children and families. Florida KIDS COUNT remains dedicated to providing resources to assist educators, policy makers, government agencies, public and private organizations, child advocates and concerned citizens.
