Developmental Assets and Asset-Building Communities examines the relationships of developmental assets to other approaches and bodies of work. It raises challenges about the asset-building approach and offers recommendations for how this approach can be strengthened and broadened in impact and research. In doing so, this book extends the scholarly base for the understanding of the character and scope of the systemic relationship between young people's healthy development and the nature of developmentally attentive communities.
The chapters present evidence that asset-building communities both promote and are promoted by positive youth development, a bi-directional, systemic linkage that—consistent with developmental systems theory—furthers civil society by building relationship and intergenerational places within a community that are united in attending to the developmental needs of children and adolescents.
