Youth M.O.V.E. Oregon incorporates PYD's "40 Developmental Assets" into our programs to help young adults transition successfully into adulthood. These assets are based on the best practices and developmental models across the state. Together, they create a picture of what young people need to become successful in their transition into adulthood.
For a long time, the only formal position every young person held in society was that of a young person. Fortunately, that has changed. Today, young individuals increasingly have more important positions, including that of decision-makers, planners, researchers, and more. The Ladder of Youth Voice was created to encourage youth and adults to examine why and how young people participate throughout communities. Think of specific activities youth are involved in, and measure them with this tool.
ReachOut is an information and support service that employs evidence-based principles and technology to help teens and young adults facing tough times and struggling with mental health issues. All content is written by teens and young adults, for teens and young adults, to meet them where they are, and help them recognize their own strengths and use those strengths to overcome their difficulties and/or seek help if necessary. The Inspire USA Foundation oversees ReachOut.
