Building My Developmental Assets

Your Tool Description

Youth Development
Des Icon
  • Every young person has strengths, relationships, and opportunities that help them lead a fulfilling and meaningful life well into adulthood. These strengths are called developmental assets. They are the building blocks of positive youth development and guide growth, confidence, and healthy choices.
  • This interactive tool helps you guide young people in exploring the assets they already have and identifying one external and one internal asset to strengthen. By focusing on what’s going well and what can be strengthened, you’ll help them gain motivation and direction for their personal growth.
  • Why It's Important: Focusing on developmental assets helps shift attention away from what’s missing and toward what’s strong. It encourages young people to recognize their potential, build meaningful relationships, and take small, achievable steps toward becoming the person they want to be.
