2020 4-H Canada Leadership Summit

Relationships are too important to leave to chance. Social-emotional development blossoms when caring adults are present in young people’s lives. Building on Search Institute’s long-standing research on Developmental Assets, Mr. Conway’s presentation will focus on the Institute’s deepening research on the power of relational connection to promote thriving in the lives of youth. The presentation will introduce the five core components of Search Institute’s new Developmental Relationships Framework as a tool for harnessing the power of relational connection within youth-serving programs.
