Developing assets in youth is a very popular phrase these days, but what does this really look like?It might be teens learning how to talk to their parents without yelling, or parents learning to actively

listen and ask “what if” questions to help youth identify what needs to be done and identify potential consequences.It might be teens raising funds to do something for someone else like making baby blankets for families in need, or

it might be teens who are struggling with addiction, taking the initiative to plan a sober event to support others in recovery, or it might be teens learning from an adult mentor how to apply for a job and mentors helping them through disappointments and accomplishments.

Developing assets in youth is all of these things and more. Building real assets to increase real success for very real teenagers right here in our community is what we do every day at Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau. Our mission is: “To Ensure the Success of Youth.”

Throughout the next few pages, we will present stories and statistics about who we serve, what asset-building programs and services we provide, and the impact of our efforts on our clients and community.

Our impact is only made possible by the investment of time and money from our community friends, volunteers and donors. As a supporter of Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau, we thank you for investing in the lives of at-risk youth and their families. By building assets in our youth today, you help to ensure a healthy, caring and responsible future for all of us.

MENTORINGBrittney (not real name) and Brett have been matched

together for two years through LAYSB’s Making Connections Mentoring Program. Every time Brittney meets with her mentor, she is so full of joy and excited. Brett says, “I enjoy talking to Brittney and we have become good friends. I have learned how times have changed from when I was a young adult female compared to times now when she is a young adult. I feel it is harder for teens in today’s time and I just hope to help her with her goals and be the person she wants to be.” Brittney says, “Brett has helped me through my breakups, stressful parts of life, and also with my homework.”

When Brittney expressed interest in getting a paying job, her mentor was all for helping her achieve this goal. They met one day after school and filled out a job application together. Then they went over some possible interview questions that Brittney might be asked. Brittney really enjoyed it and felt more confident that she would do well in an interview. Although Brittney did not get that specific job, she didn’t give up; she kept applying for jobs on her own with guidance from her mentor. A few months later, Brittney showed up to their mentoring meeting with exciting news and a big smile on her face. Her news was that she got a job! Brittney took the initiative to take charge for herself and kept going with the support of her mentor.

Brett shared that the most meaningful thing for her is seeing Brittney change and become a more mature young adult and feeling proud of herself. Brett said, “It made me feel like I had an impact on her by giving her advice and I taught her some things about applications and interviews.”

Making great connections such as the one between Brittney and Brett is what the mentoring program is all about.

For the past three decades, Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau has been developing assets, or building blocks of healthy development, in youth by providing a holistic array of supportive programs and services that have been proven, through evidence based research, to contribute to positive

youth and young-adult outcomes.

When you have healthy relationships, meaningful involvement and relevant learning experiences, they grow up able to care for themselves, care for others and contribute to the world in a positive way. Our programs and

services integrate these three components:

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS - within families, with positive adult role models and with peers.

MEANINGFUL INVOLVEMENT – within their communities, providing powerful opportunities to learn about and

engage in the world around them.

RELEVANT LEARNING EXPERIENCES – within their world, of their choosing, and free from judgement.
