ASSET DEVELOPMENT STRENGTHENS YOUTH

Posted on April 7, 2013 by wpadmin

Kids need to know their strengths. They need to know what excites them.  SPARKS, as described by the Search Institute of Minnesota (www.search-institute.org),  will help them focus and thrive. What kids need comes down to a common theme for all of us—we all want to nurture what we love best and share that interest or ability in our work, family, and community lives.

Invite Calvert Collaborative for Children and Youth to share more youth development ideas with you and/or your community group.  Contact us at calvertkids@chesapeake.net or 410 286-8300.
