Adventures and Thoughts of Team Cross

Since late 2004 I have been involved in a Muncie/Delaware County coalition called Youth Empowerment. One of the major focuses is on assisting local youth workers with their youth work.

Part of this is using the Search Institute‘s 40 Developmental Assets.

So I became involved with SI and reviewed a book for them. I reviewed a “book” called Instant Assets. It is actually a CD of 52 Short and Simple E-Mails for Sharing the Asset Message.

I enjoyed the reading and the idea of it and said so in my review to them. They decided to use one of my quotes on the cover:

It says: “This is a quick and easy educational tool that can be used to build a community that is asset aware. Plus, it provides action steps that each person can use to make a difference in the lives of young people.”
