what we do
01
We Start with Research That Matters
We produce the annual KIDS COUNT® Data Book and update our statewide Data Center to provide clear, credible insights into child well-being. These resources equip decision-makers and advocates with the evidence they need to push for change.
02
We Listen to Community Voices
Through coalitions, parent leaders, and facilitated conversations, we learn directly from those most impacted. Our work reflects the realities of Maine families and prioritizes racial equity and lived experience.
With community insight and data in hand, we develop targeted, forward-thinking policy proposals. Our recommendations are rooted in collaboration and designed to improve outcomes across systems.
