“The GetNvolved Program is designed to help schools, students, community-based organizations, and other adults increase a young person's experience of these Developmental Assets. In particular, the program focues on the following assets: #7-Community Values Youth; #8-Youth as a Resource; #9-Service to Others; #3-Other Adult Relationships. Nurturing these assets is essential to healthy development.” Dr. Peter Benson President and CEO, Search Institute

“Research shows social connectedness (family, school, community) is the strongest known protective factor against virtually all adolescent risky behaviors. The development of resilient coping skills is also clearly related to having community connections and a sense of purpose. By linking young people with volunteer and community service opportunities, GetNvolved is doing exactly the kind of behind the scenes work that will make our communities healthier for everyone.” Dr. David Mays Clinical Faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison
