Youth Developmental Assets are the Individual Qualities and Social Supports that help children and youth make good decisions and grow to be healthy and successful. Success is defined as becoming a self-sufficient, caring and contributing member of the community.
Developmental Assets is a framework that focuses on the positive of what we want for our children,NOT on what we don't want.
The framework is built upon the latest research about what makes children resilient; that ability to bounce back from challenging circumstances and events.
Assets is not a program! The Asset Framework provides a model of how to build and sustain meaningful relationships with children and youth at home, school, church, and youth clubs. It challenges us to examine the WAY we interact with children and teens in our life. This model asks us to look at our individual actions or practices; are they asset building OR do we reinforce what we don't want?
