We all know it! Now the research proves it.
There are some basic supports, experiences, and conditions that all young people need to help them grow up to be healthy, successful, principled, and caring. These building blocks of youth development are called the 40 Developmental Assets® as researched and documented by Search Institute®.Hampton's Mobilization for Youth focuses the entire community's attention on making sure that Hampton provides these developmental assets in abundance for our young people. Guided by a of community volunteers, a variety of activities, workshops and celebrations are held each year in support of asset building. This campaign enlists the commitment of youth and adults everywhere - schools, neighborhoods, community organizations, businesses and places of worship -- to build assets. The Mobilization provides speakers, resources, and technical assistance to any organization or individual who wants to begin asset building. Link 'N' Learn, a Web-based network for asset builders, offers materials, ideas, and support.
