This article looks at the program in light of the 40 developmental assets defined by the Search Institute, a nonprofit research program whose framework of strengths and supports for youth development has become an international benchmark. While the developmental assets were not intentionally incorporated in the design of the TAAV program, they are reflected in the program's outcomes.TAAV Background / TAAV Survey Goals / Essential Elements of Positive Youth Development / External Assets / Internal Assets / Special Competencies / Conclusion / Referencesen-USAlaska NativesBethel, AKjuvenile justiceTeens Acting Against Violence (TAAV)youth violence preventionArticle
