It is a great pleasure to offer this volume from Michael J.
Nakkula, Karen C. Foster, Marc Mannes, and Shenita Bolstrom as the
latest in the Search Institute Series on Developmentally Attentive
Community and Society. Its importance to the series and this ?eld
of inquiry and practice is readily evident in its title, Building
Healthy Communities for Positive Youth Development. Since the early
1990s, Search Institute has invited and encouraged communities of
all shapes and sizes to use its framework of Developmental Assets
and principles of asset building to create strong, vibrant, and
welcoming communities for children and youth. We have operated
largely at the grassroots level, encouraging innovation and
adaptation around a shared vision, rather than proposing a program
or model for replication. We seek to learn as much from the
communities as they learn from us. This book offers in-depth case
studies of what happened in eight diverse c- munities that took up
our invitation. In them, we see a wide array of strategies and
approaches that, on the surface, seem to have little coherence.
But, as Nakkula and colleagues found, underlying each of these
distinct efforts was a deep commitment to transforming the social
norms of community life to more effectively attend to young
people's healthy development throughout the ?rst two decades of
life. There have been many ambitious efforts aimed at comprehensive
community change on behalf of young people.
