40 Developmental Assets
The Y of Western North Carolina is committed to supporting children to grow into healthy, caring and responsible adults. As a result, we have adopted the Search Institutes 40 Developmental Asset Model. The premise of Developmental Assets is built around the belief that there are 40 essential building blocks all young people need. These 40 assets include such things as healthy relationships with adults, service to others, developing conflict resolution skills, making constructive use of time & having a sense of purpose. Our programs provide assets that represent everyday wisdom, positive experiences and successful characteristics which supply tremendous potential to protect youth from unhealthy and negative choices. These principals are woven into our weekly programming & purposefully linked to all activities & projects.

Parents/Guardians can be involved by:


Volunteer in the program. Share a talent with the children. Become a resource for project Maintain a positive relationship and Read the weekly site newsletter and Volunteer to be a member of the Participate in the Ys Healthier Attend Family Night Events.

Please talk with the Program Coordinator at your childs site if you would like to be involved with any of the above mentioned activities.

Children with Special Needs


The YMCA of Western North Carolina operates within the provisions of all applicable laws, including those which provide protection to individuals with disabilities as well as to providers who care for such individuals. Y Programs welcome all children to the extent that it is reasonably able to do so. A child who requires measures that constitute a fundamental alteration to the program or other undue hardship, or a child that poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others, will not be able to participate in the program. Prior to a childs admittance to the program, it is imperative that a Youth Development Director make an individualized assessment to whether the program meets the particular needs of the child within the noted guidelines. Upon receiving the childs registration form, our staff will be in contact with the parents/guardians for a preliminary InTake Interview to gather all necessary and pertinent information to serve the participant to the best of our abilities and within the parameters of our programs design. If Y staff and/or the parents or guardians feel it necessary, a meeting will be scheduled as an opportunity for the Y staff and the parents/guardians to meet and discuss the situation. Upon your childs enrollment to the program, the Youth Development Director will review the Individualized Care Plan (ICP), so that the staff understands the best ways to provide care for your child. The ICP will also note any special accommodations that are necessary to ensure the childs success in the program. This information will be shared with site staff, and follow-up calls and/or meetings with Program Coordinators will be arranged on an as needed basis. The Y enjoys a partnership with the ARC of NC which allows us to provide truly inclusive programming for children with significant emotional and intellectual special needs. For more information on the Every Child program, please contact Mike Brown mbrown@arcnc.org
