Press Release | Full Report (618k) | Data Tables

The Washington Kids Count project at the University of Washington, Seattle, and the Children's Alliance, a statewide children's advocacy organization, have just released a report on The Facts of Life for Children of Color in Washington State. According to this report and to leaders of color in our state, Washington and its communities are failing to meet the needs of children of color. While most are healthy and succeeding, far too many lag in academic achievement, live in dangerous neighborhoods and lack economic support. The report dispels common myths about children and families of color and offers effective ways to pinpoint problems and meet needs while building on community assets.
