*** START THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT ***
Join us for Essentials of Asset Building for Trainers and Facilitators 
Thu-Fri 1/15-1/16, 2015
Click here to register!

Start 2015 with a new point of view on how to bring out the best in the young people in your program or classroom. 

Implementing a strength-based approach in your work with young people starts with a positive point of view. That point of view--readily found in the Developmental Assets--sees young people as resources to be celebrated and supported, rather than problems to be fixed.

If you are ready to sharpen your strength-based practices, please join us January 15th and 16th in Union, NJ for Essentials of Asset Building. 

Senior Trainer Jim Conway brings the Developmental Assets to life through lively group interactions and his deep knowledge of what really works to help kids succeed. Listen to Jim talk about the workshop in this video:


If you are new to the Developmental Assets framework, this two-day workshop will introduce you to the basics of looking at young people through a positive lens. If you're familiar with the assets, you'll find ample material to refresh and renew your skills.
