• Research tells us that the success stories of

• The Power of AssetsStudies of more than 2.2
  million young people in the United States
  consistently show that the more assets young
  people have, the less likely they are to engage
  in a wide range of high-risk behaviours and the
  more likely they are to thrive.
• Furthermore, levels of assets are better
  predictors of high-risk involvement and thriving
  than poverty or being from a single-parent
  family.
• The GapThe average young person experiences
  fewer than half of the 40 assets. Boys experience
  three fewer assets than girls (17.2 assets for
  boys vs. 19.9 for girls).
