What are the 40 Developmental Assets

Search Institute® has identified the following building blocks of healthy development, known as the 40 Developmental Assets®, that help young people grow up healthy, caring and responsible.

To make it easier for adults to feel confident helping young people develop these assets, the Youth First Coalition has created very brief informative videos on each asset. The videos include tips you can use in your own home to help young people strengthen each of these assets. Check our YouTube channel or our Facebook.
