EXTERNAL ASSETS
The first 20 Developmental Assets focus on positive experiences that young people receive from the people and institutions in their lives.
The Search Institute’s 40 developmental assets framework includes four categories of external assets:
1.Support Young people need to experience support, care, and love from their families, neighbors, and many others. They need organizations and institutions that provide positive, supportive environments.
2.Empowerment Young people need to be valued by their community and have opportunities to contribute to the world around them. For this to occur, they must be safe and feel secure.
3.Boundaries and expectations Young people need to know what is expected of them and understand whether the activities and behaviors they choose are "in bounds" and "out of bounds."
4.Constructive use of time Young people need constructive, enriching opportunities for growth through creative activities, youth programs, time with family and faith based organizations.
