Our Everyone’s an Asset Builder workshop teaches participants to support young people’s health and well-being by exploring key factors for their development and community involvement. Participants will identify the qualities and everyday actions that positively impact youth and promote their ability to thrive. This training is appropriate for all trusted adults within the community. Research with millions of young people shows the power of people from all walks of life committing to do what they can to support all young people’s success.

• understand the strengths and supports that are essential for young people’s success in school, work, and life, based on Search Institute’s research on Developmental Assets
• identify qualities of individuals who play powerful roles in young people’s lives
• discover opportunities in their everyday lives for making a positive difference
• make personal commitments to take personal action to support youth success
