Developmental Assets
|
The Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets® are common sense, positive experiences and qualities that help influence choices young people make and help them become caring, responsible adults. Search Institute’s research indicates that Developmental Assets powerfully influence adolescent behavior—both by protecting young people from risky, problem behaviors and by promoting positive attitudes and choices. That is why United Way of Inner Wisconsin partners with Search Institute to survey our local youth, and then use the results to identify gaps in services focused on helping Children and Youth Succeed, one of our Vision Areas. Please see below for the results of our most recent survey, conducted in winter 2007 - spring 2008. To learn more about the 40 Developmental Assets® and how to incorporate them into your child's day to day activities, please visit the Search Institute's website by clicking Here.
