Asset Building Commission

Helping Youth Succeed

Welcome to our web site! We are the Asset Building Coalition (ABC) of Monroe County, Indiana. We collaborate with community partners and mobilize community resources. Established in 1995, our guiding principles are based upon the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets. The Search Institute identified what it takes for youth to be healthy, caring, principled and productive. (Search Institute). The ABC focuses on increasing Assets among the youth in our community as a prevention strategy for alcohol, tobacco, and drug use. Healthy communities begin with healthy youth.
