Assets Make a Difference

Assets have a powerful, positive effect on a young person. Assets promote actions that we hope for:

Succeeding in school

Helping others

Valuing diversity

Maintaining good health

Exhibiting leadership

Resisting danger

Delaying gratification

Overcoming adversity

Use alcohol

Binge drink

Smoke

Use smokeless tobacco 

Use inhalants

Drink and drive while under the influence
