Youth
Asset Summit
Since 2007, the Great Lakes Center for Youth Development
has facilitated “Youth Asset Summits” within intermediate school districts
that participate in the Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors
survey. In the summits, teams of middle and high school students gather
to review results of the survey. They are then taken through a process
in which they determine which of the 40 Developmental Assets they consider
to be the greatest strengths of their community and which assets are
of greatest concern and therefore most urgent for the community to address.
The students then work on a plan of action to address those “priority”
assets in their schools and communities.
