The Developmental Assets® Framework
Search Institute has identified 40 positive supports and strengths that young people need to succeed.
​
Half of the assets focus on the relationships and opportunities they need in their families, schools, and communities (external assets). The remaining assets focus on the social-emotional strengths, values, and commitments that are nurtured within young people (internal assets).
External Assets
