Youth Development Program

The Community Hope Fund supports programs that build "Developmental
Assets" in youth as established by the Search Institute. Developmental
Assets are the personal relationships, opportunities and qualities that help
youth to thrive and protect them from harmful and unhealthy choices.  After-
school and other programs cultivate developmental assets in youth by:
  • Promoting constructive use of time
  • Building self-esteem
  • Fostering a love of learning
  • Reinforcing emotional health and physical well-being

  • Employ innovative and research-based models to promote youth
    development
  • Conduct programs within a 20-mile radius of the Township of Ocean,
    Monmouth County, New Jersey
  • Have clear and reasonable goals and measurable outcomes
