What is Kids Count?

The KIDS COUNT USVI Data Book provides information on child well-being in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Its purpose is to promote dialogue on children's issues, and to stimulate community response to improve the health, safely and economic status of VI children, from birth to age eighteen.   

USVI KIDS COUNT  is part of a national initiative, sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, to create a detailed community-by-community picture of the condition of children nationwide.  There are now KIDS COUNT projects in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.  The Annie E. Casey Foundation annually produces a summary document reporting state-level data and national trends. 

Since 2000, the KIDS COUNT USVI Data Book has been compiled and published each year by the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI), serving the needs of the territory's children, youth, and families.
