The Developmental Assets framework is an evidence-based approach that identifies 40 assets, both internal and external, that can empower our youth to become successful members of our community. 

The Turning Point Prevention team finds unique ways to introduce these 40 assets into their children's programming, shelter groups and classroom curriculum. In many of our activities we highlight the specific assets that are being built and display the badges for those assets. Our goal in utilizing the 40 Developmental Assets is to provide our youth with a toolkit full of everything they may need to lead successful lives!
