40 Developmental Assets

What are Developmental Assets?

The Developmental Assets are 40 common sense, positive experiences and qualities that help influence choices young people make and help them become caring, responsible adults.

Studies of more than 2.2 million young people consistently show that the more assets young people have, the less likely they are to engage in a wide range of high-risk behaviors and the more likely they are to thrive.

How Can You Show You Care?

The Power

Developmental Assets impact youth in school success, leadership, persistence, underage drinking and substance use, violence, college readiness, and more.
About the Assets

Assets have power for all young people, regardless of their gender, economic status,
family, or race/ethnicity, and are better predictors of high-risk involvement
and thriving than poverty or being from a single-parent family.


Building Blocks for Development

The 40 Developmental Assets are made up of a range of external assets (ex: caring neighborhood) and internal assets (ex: sense of purpose).
