KIDS COUNT is a unique, community-wide partnership to improve the health and learning opportunities of children and their families in neighbourhoods of London, Ontario. KIDS COUNT brings together parents, children, educators, businesses and community groups to identify and implement ideas to address the needs of children. It is based on four key principles: it is neighbourhood-driven, uses existing resources, concentrates on bringing about sustainable changes and builds local leadership. The activities it supports include everything from youth leadership programs, safety initiatives and academic assistance to family events that build community spirit. This paper describes how KIDS COUNT came to be, how it works and the lessons that have been learned.
