The Search Institute

The Search Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to researching and promoting the factors that support healthy development in young people. It identifies key characteristics, called "assets," that help youth thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. These assets include positive relationships, values, skills, and opportunities that foster resilience and well-being. Schools, communities, and families use this information to create nurturing environments that encourage youth success and growth. Overall, the Search Institute provides tools and insights to help young people reach their full potential through strengthening their supportive experiences and relationships.
