Fifteen years ago, the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia released its first-ever data-driven report on the region’s youth, offering a snapshot of the challenges and opportunities shaping their lives. Today, those children are young adults navigating a vastly different landscape—one marked by evolving economic pressures, shifting workforce demands, and new concerns around health and safety. With this 2025 report, we revisit the data to understand how Northern Virginia’s youth have grown and what their experiences reveal about the future of our region.
This report provides fresh insights into the well-being, education, and economic mobility of young people across our communities. It highlights disparities that persist, progress that has been made, and the urgent issues that demand our collective attention. As Northern Virginia continues to change, investing in the success of our youth remains critical to ensuring a thriving, resilient region for generations to come.
