Minnesota is shaking things up in the pursuit of better, brighter futures for America’s kids.  

For the first time in about a decade, a state outside of New England has captured the no. 1 spot in the KIDS COUNT rankings for overall child well-being.  

“We know that it’s important to invest in children and families to ensure a bright future for all Minnesotans,” says Stephanie Hogenson, the research and policy director for the Children’s Defense Fund-Minnesota, the state’s KIDS COUNT organization. “We still have work to do — especially to support children and families of color — but this ranking tells us that our state and local investments are paying off.”   

KIDS COUNT, a project by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States.
