Our Vision

We imagine a Marin where all children are safe, fed, housed, healthy, nurtured and educated to their full potential.

The opportunity to make a difference is ours. Times such as these call for local community solutions. We believe that in Marin, we can make this vision real. Now is the time to work together.

    MarinKids 2012 Action Guide

    The  2012 MarinKids Data & Action Guide shows that even as Marin County ranks high among other counties in California on measures of child well being, up to 60% fewer Marin children who are poor or racially diverse meet state targets in math and English.  Fewer graduate from high school on time, attend preschool, or are at a healthy weight. The Guide provides a look at how all Marin’s children and youth are faring on key indicators of academic performance, access to healthcare and childhood obesity. Benchmarks are tracked over time and include a deeper look at racial/ethnic and economic differences among children. You can review charts and graphs of the key data from the report in each of the policy sections on this website: Education, Healthcare, Childhood Obesity. Find demographic data here.

    Offering recommendations and models for action to promote policies and strategies that can improve outcomes for all kids, the Guide is a tool for advocates and policymakers.
