Developmental Assets

Developmental Assets are positive experiences, qualities, values, and supportive relationships that help young people develop into responsible, well-rounded adults. They include things like encouragement from family, caring peers, positive school experiences, and personal skills such as resilience and motivation. These assets act as protective factors, reducing risks and promoting healthy growth. Essentially, they are the building blocks that foster confidence, self-esteem, and good decision-making in youth, guiding them toward successful and fulfilling lives.
