INTERNAL ASSETS
A community's responsibility for its young people does not end with the provision of external assets. We must make a commitment to nurture the internal qualities that guide young people to make positive choices and foster a sense of confidence, passion, and purpose.
The Search Institute’s 40 developmental assets framework includes four categories of internal assets:
1.Commitment to learning Young people need to develop a lifelong commitment to education and learning.
2.Positive values Young people need to develop strong values that guide their choices and decisions throughout life.
3.Social competencies Young people need skills and competencies that equip them to make positive choices, to build healthy relationships, and to be successful and productive adults.
4.Positive identity Young people need a strong sense of their own power, purpose, worth, and promise.
