What Y's are saying ...

“By the way, we love our stuff. I will be sending you some ways Y’s
and organizations serving youth can utilize the cards to support the
40 developmental assets. It’s a worthwhile high quality program that
we use for staff training and transfer onto the kids getting them to
interact and role model the character traits.”
~ Sharon T., Senior Program Director

“We all worked together, shared our thoughts and feelings while
having fun! There were so many games revolving around: teamwork,
respect, diversity, leadership, character, responsibility, honesty,
and positive attitude. I noticed that my team members would stop
and listen to one another. We went from reactions to responses.

Then I realized … this gives people the opportunity to look outside
themselves and see other’s for who they really are.”
~ Jacqueline E., School Age Director
