The 2018 Kids Count in Michigan Data Book is looking for help from your kids to fill the pages with pictures.
The Michigan League for Public Policy’s Kids Count project is calling for photographs of a diverse range of kids age 0-17 and their families from around the state.
“We are very excited to show everyday Michigan children and families in our 2018 Data Book, because they’re the ones we’re fighting for every day,” said Alicia Guevara Warren, Kids Count in Michigan project director at the Michigan League for Public Policy. “We want to pair real faces with real data to better tell the story of how our state’s kids and families are impacted by policy decisions.”
This call to action for photos will help Kids Count fulfill a broader representation of Michigan's families.
They hope to showcase diversity in age, geography, gender, and race and ethnicity.
Photos can be of kids action or participating in activities, specifically to match the Data Book’s main categories of Education, Health and Safety, Economic Security, and Family and Community.
Interested families should take a look at the 2017 Kids Count in Michigan Data Book for examples. The deadline for submissions is March 20, 2018.
There will be no compensation for submissions aside from inclusion in the 2018 Kids Count in Michigan Data Book. Photos must be received by the end of the day March 20, 2018, and submitted by the parent or guardian of the child or children in the photographs.
