Community initiatives based on the Developmental Assets work thoughtfully to determine how people in all spheres of life can be involved. There are five action strategies identified by the Search Institute for transforming a community towards positive change.
The more assets a young person has, the more likely they are to succeed and less likely they are to gravititate towards problem behaviors. The planning for youth success initiative is the intentional approach of CIYDC to coordinate communities across the Cayman Islands as they engage and mobilize to develop the assets of their young people.
We provide communities with the resources and information they need to organize and mobilize individuals and groups on behalf of youth.
Influence Civic Decision: Influence decision makers and opinion leaders to leverage financial, media, and policy resources in support of this positive transformation of communities and society.
