The Santa Clara County Children's Agenda:Every child safe, healthy, successful in learning, successful in life!Despite the fact that Santa Clara County is one of the most affluent communities in the world, a significant number of our children suffer from lack of basic health care, adequate food and shelter, and opportunities for succeeding in school. To improve children’s lives in Santa Clara County, there is a need for a focused, integrated framework that engages all segments of our community and provides a common vision for our children. The Santa Clara County Children’s Agenda provides that framework and encourages us, as a community, to move from data to action and to be accountable for how our children are faring. The goal of the Children’s Agenda is: Every child safe, healthy, successful in learning, successful in life. To understand if we are achieving this goal, the Children’s Agenda has identified thirteen outcomes of child well-being that we can focus on and monitor as we work to improve children’s lives.
