What Participants Will Learn in this Workshop

This training will prepare participants to deliver two core Search Institute designed workshops to your own organization: Everyone’s an Asset Builder and Sharing the Asset Message.

Everyone’s an Asset Builder introduces the Developmental Assets® framework and the powerful role of individual asset builders in the lives of youth. This workshop will help participants:

  • identify the characteristics of effective asset builders and their own personal strengths and challenges 
  • understand “circles of influence” and identify those circles in which there is potential for asset building 
  • make and share a personal commitment to asset-building action

Sharing the Asset Message prepares community members and groups to deliver a variety of asset-building messages to multiple audiences. This workshop will help participants:

  • discuss how the assets relate to other positive youth development efforts
  • develop engaging presentation strategies to meet the unique needs of any audience
  • download free curriculum materials to use in your own presentations
