ASSET THEME FOR JULY

The 40 Developmental Assets Theme for July is CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF TIME defined as "Young people are given constructive, enriching opportunities for growth through creative activities, youth programs, congregational involvement, and quality time at home."

Descriptive statements about this theme include the following:

• I spend each week in lessons and/or practicing music, plays, dance or other arts.

• I spend time each week in activities like Scouts, on sports teams, or in youth groups.

• I spend time each week in religious services or programs.

• I spend a lot of time with my family doing things together.

• I enjoy staying home when my friends and I have nothing special to do.

• I spend time every day reading something for my own enjoyment.

NOTE: The monthly Asset Themes were developed in 1999 through a collaboration with The Elyria Schools, members of the Lorain County Prevention Connection, and The Chronicle-Telegram. Twelve themes were derived from the 40 Developmental Assets from Search Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"Test My Teen" Drug Prevention Program and the "Teen Home Alone" Program sponsored by the Avon Police Department.
