What do we want to measure and track together, on a community level? How are we doing on these key indicators? How do these issues affect each other? How can we work together most effectively to improve results?
These priority outcomes and indicators of child and youth well-being were selected through a year-long process led by the Ready by 21 Coalition, involving more than 100 representatives, 60 agencies, and 10 coalitions.
