The
Search Institute
has identified 40 Developmental Assets – essential building
blocks for healthy youth development. Research suggests
that the more assets a young person has, the less likely
they are to engage in substance abuse, fighting, bullying,
and other risky behaviors. A greater number of assets also
increases the likelihood that a young person will be
academically successful, seek to help others, and maintain
good relationships. Talawanda has made a strong commitment
to be intentional about asset building for our students in
all of our programming.
