Camden City Kids Count
CAMConnect is pleased to announce the release of the Camden Kids Count 2004. This report was written by CAMConnect, in cooperation with Association for Children of New Jersey (ACNJ), and with support of the Camden Center for Youth Development (CCYD) / Camden City Youth Services Commission (CCYSC),
The Camden Kids Count pulls
together data from a variety of sources to identify the problems and challenges
that face Camden’s youth and families. It is the first attempt
in Camden City to systematically present data on these challenges at the
municipal and neighborhood level.
“Our hope is that city and state policymakers and community agencies
will use these data to target services and programs that can improve outcomes
for these needy children,” said Derek Ziegler, CAMConnect Program
Manager.
The Camden Kids Count report was featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer and WHYY-FM on Friday, October 29, 2004.
