The Power of Assets: Helping Kids to Thrive

A training opportunity for people interested in asset based community development.

The Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets are based on extensive research in youth development, resiliency, and prevention. They represent the relationships, opportunities and personal qualities that young people need to avoid risks and to thrive. Studies of more than 2.2 million young people in the United States consistently show that the more Assets young people have, the less likely they are to engage in a wide range of high-risk behaviors and the more likely they are to thrive.

Participants in the training will:

• Learn about the 8 categories of the Developmental Assets
• Increase your readiness to apply Developmental Assets in your relationships and community
• Explore how Assets protect young people from risky behaviors
• Discover the ways Assets protect young people from risky behaviors
• Discover the ways Assets promote healthy and positive behaviors
• Fell prepared to share your knowledge and build Assets with others

REGISTER TODAY. Space is limited! Lunch will be provided.
