This edition of the CCAMP Networker focuses on achieving key community leadership goals for youth development, and highlights the Connecticut Assets Network's working relationship with Search Institute® in support of the work of the 40 Developmental Assets®. Thousands of youth development initiatives, including those in our home state as well as nationally and internationally, are using the developmental assets approach because it is an effective, research-based method of improving quality of life. Connecticut Assets Network and Search Institute both recognize the Community Connection Asset Mapping Process (CCAMP) as a valuable tool in supporting communities as they operationalize and measure their asset building work. While CCAMP's many data collection and analysis features provide a technological boost to mobilizing champions for youth, they set the stage for individual, family and community transformation through dynamic youth and community development work. Whether you're implementing initiatives in rural, suburban or urban environments such as schools, neighborhoods, or youth serving organizations, applying CCAMP to your existing strategies and programs literally brings them to new levels of success.
 
Discover what the technological buzz is about! Read about how Connecticut Assets Network and Search Institute are working together to support Healthy Communities-Healthy Youth (HC-HY) sites that are currently piloting the CCAMP System to boost their asset building initiatives. And should you and your youth leaders wish to explore the CCAMP System further, or if you are pursuing other community development goals, please register to attend one of our CCAMP demonstrations which take place live on the Internet several times each month. We hope to meet you online soon! And, as always, we wish you every success in your vital youth and community development work.

Best Regards,
