Community... is the basis
of the Healthy Communities/Healthy Youth Initiative taking
root in the Pennsylvania communities of Quakertown
and Pennridge. HCHY is part of a larger
national movement involving over 500 communities throughout the
United States and Canada who are using "asset development"
to advance the well-being of adolescents and children.
Asset-Building... is asking
for commitments from adults to be "intentional" and more
mindful in their interactions with youth. It isn't about creating
more programs or activities for youth. It is about integrating asset-building
into every program that already exists.
Results... are the focus
of our initiative. We look at data to identify
needs, target our efforts and measure success.
