Abundant Assets Alliance

If you are interested in adapting or reproducing any of the materials that the Alliance or Search Institute has created we ask you submit a permissions request form. Requests to use materials found in the manual Asset Building the YMCA Way will be handled the same as any other publication and will follow these permissions policies.

The Alliance seeks to advance the efforts of local YMCAs and their constituents (youth and adult) to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities using the framework, philosophy and principles of Developmental Assets. With this in mind, we want local YMCAs to use and share broadly the ideas, language, resources and tools already in existence or being created through this partnership.
