Years of research by
the Search Institute of Minneapolis have identified
41 "developmental assets" that have a proven
relationship to healthy youth development. These assets
include both external experiences which provide young
people with support, empowerment and boundaries and
the internal values, strengths and commitments that
they need in order to thrive. Studies have shown that
that there is a direct relationship between increasing
the number of assets and decreasing the incidence of
high risk behaviors such as violence and drug and alcohol
abuse. The link below will bring you to assets related
