high value on helping others, p ro ­

in fo u r say that youth are given

W e can find those ro les fo r our
young peo p le. O ur ch ild re n have
stro n g m o tiv atio n to do w ell, but
m any are m issing assets like se lf­

to care and to hope even as they
lack su p p o rt th at can virtu ally
guarantee success.
W hile m any A sian and Pacific

they d o n ’t have enough adult in­
volvem ent in th e ir lives. The vast
m a jo rity o f th e se y o u th s say
adults d o n ’t value young people.
M ost say they d o n ’t have a p o si­

they d o n ’t have caring neighbors.
T hese are th in g s ad ults can help
to fix.
T hrough this su rv ey , we d is­

they have fam ily su p p o rt and

they do not. T he m a jo rity say
their fam ily d o e sn ’t com m unicate
w ell. M any youth need adults
who can help them to b u ild se lf­
esteem and learn d e c isio n -m a k ­

On the average, our A sian and
P acific Islan d er youth have ju st
18 o f the 40 asse ts they need,
b u t it d o e sn ’t have to stay that
w ay. T his im p o rtan t research
