The Asset Champions Network
The DeKalb County KEYS Initiative is seeking individuals and organizations of all types in DeKalb County to commit to making this a community intentional about building assets in our young people. Much of a community’s asset-building potential lies in informal daily relationships and personal commitment of the individuals who live, work, or spend time in the community.
Asset building efforts will expand throughout a community when several individuals are inspired to become asset builders in their own lives and become passionate about spreading the word to others. We need you to join us in working toward connecting the community for the betterment of our young people.
Asset Champions receive training on the 40 Developmental Assets and learn how to promote the asset philosophy where they live, work, volunteer and go to school.
The following organizations are part of the KEYS Asset Champions Network and have at least one trained asset champion.
