Summary The Healthy Communities / Healthy Youth (HC / HY) project has provided grassroots support for the creation of robust, welcoming environments not only for children and adolescents at risk but for all youth. "Building Healthy Communities for Positive Youth Development" explains the Developmental Assets framework in depth and demonstrates how eight local initiatives across the country have adapted and implemented it to fit the unique cultures and resources of their neighborhoods and the needs and strengths of their young people. Stakeholders collaborating in the process include parents.
