Healthy Youth, Healthy Community

"Why do some kids grow up with ease, while others struggle?"

Many factors influence why some young people have success in life and why others have a harder time. The SEARCH Institute has identified 40 concrete, positive experiences and qualities - developmental assets - that help young people make wise decisions, choose positive paths, and grow up competent, caring and responsible.

The assets that families have the most influence and control over include:

• Family Support
• Positive Family Communication
• Parent Involvement in Schools
