The Asset in Action Partnership of Shasta County is pleased to announce that the fourth annual Celebration of Assets will be held on Friday, May 7, 2010 at Win-River Event Center in Redding. Doors open at 7:15 am and breakfast will be served at 7:30 for a donation of $12. The program will include awards for five community members who have done outstanding work in the development of assets in our community. One recipient will receive the Linda McBride award for lifetime achievement. Prior Linda McBride Award winners include: Linda McBride (2007), Charlie Menoher (2008) and John Barry (2009).

Our community can build assets in youth by assuring that caring adults provide meaningful activities with positive expectations. The Search Institute’s 40 Developmental AssetsĀ® are concrete, common sense, positive experiences and qualities essential to raising successful young people. These assets have the power during critical adolescent years to influence choices young people make and help them become caring, responsible adults.

The Assets in Action Partnership is a group of adults and youth who have come together to highlight how building assets in our 0- to 18-year-olds helps better prepare them for adulthood. The Partnership’s Action Teams address the areas of 0-5 (Years), Business, Education, Faith, Government, Law Enforcement, Media and Youth. Each Action Team works within its scope of influence to help Shasta County make changes that will affect youth positively.

Breakfast tickets are available by e-mailing info@hipshasta.org, or by calling Jennifer Richards at 530-244-7194 or Susan Wilson at 225-8528.
