The community thinks and acts intergenerationally. The community builds a consensus on values and boundaries, which it seeks to articulate and model. All children and teenagers frequently engage in service to others. Families are supported, educated, and equipped to elevate asset building to top priority. All children and teenagers receive frequent expressions of support in both informal settings and in places where youth gather.
Neighborhoods are places of caring, support, and safety.
Virtually all 10 to 18 year olds are involved in one or more clubs, teams, or other youth-serving organizations that see building assets as central to their mission. All professionals and volunteers who work with youth receive training in asset building. Youth have opportunities to serve, lead, and make decisions. Religious institutions mobilize their resources to build assets both within their own programs and in the community.
