Mobilizing a community means forming the network of supportive parents, educators and community leaders that will help young people thrive. This can take as many forms as there are challenges to positive youth development. One of our missions at Assets for Colorado Youth is to share what has been proven to work in communities applying a strength-based approach to youth development. Our goal is to provide real-world examples of assets at work in communities.
