The good news is we can change this because we all have the power to build assets in young people’s lives. About 59 percent of young people, ages 11–18, have 20 or fewer Developmental Assets, according to Search Institute surveys. The bad news is most young people don’t have enough assets. Children and teenagers who have high levels of these assets get involved in fewer risky behaviors and are much more likely to exhibit the positive values, such as leadership, good health, diversity, and success in school. Research from Search Institute identifies 40 Developmental Assets that have a powerful, positive impact on young people. That’s why young people need adults like you in their lives. We all know growing up isn’t always easy. With your help, young people can begin to understand themselves and the world around them. Adult role models, guides, and friends are very important to young people.
As a caring, trusted adult, you’ll be better able to provide the building blocks young people need to succeed and reach their goals. Simply make a point to connect with young people: Get to know them, talk to them, understand them, help them, and build relationships with them. The secret to helping children and youth grow into happy, healthy, and responsible adults isn’t really a secret at all.
