In keeping with the nationally-known research of the Search Institute , RTV’s cutting-edge programs cultivate developmental assets that are proven antidotes to the issues that can cripple the positive development of America’s youth.  These assets have tremendous power to protect youth from the negative outcomes of TEEN PREGNANCY, ACADEMIC FAILURE, VIOLENCE, GANG ACTIVITY, and CRIME.

 

Research shows that the best way to prevent these negative outcomes is to fortify youth with the skills and traits they need to overcome adversity. As a Positive Youth Development model, all of RTV’s programs help empower youth by instilling the following developmental assets:

  • Integrity
  • Honesty
  • Responsibility
  • Planning and Decision-Making
  • Resistance Skills
  • Peaceful Conflict Resolution
  • Personal Power
  • Self-Esteem
  • Sense of Purpose
  • Positive View of Personal Future
