The Heritage YMCA group is proud to be
associated with
Educating
and encouraging people to build Developmental Assets in Youth
KidsMatter is a not-for-profit Naperville organization that
partners with youth, parents, businesses, youth serving agencies
and organizations, schools and faith communities to support the
development of caring, competent and responsible young people.
KidsMatter uses Search Institute’s research-proven 40
Developmental Asset Framework to accomplish its mission. On one
level, Assets represent everyday wisdom about positive experiences
and characteristics essential for healthy youth development. On
another level, Search Institute's research has found that Assets
are powerful influences on adolescent behavior – protecting youth
from many at-risk behaviors while simultaneously promoting
positive attitudes and behaviors.
Below is one of these Assets. You can see
all of the Assets at the
KidsMatter site or by following
