Action for Children’s Neighborhood Network program uses the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets Framework™ to strengthen relationships and improve social and emotional development in children.

Each year, the Neighborhood Network focuses on clustered areas in Franklin County. Parents, home child care providers, and child care center staff working with all age groups receive resources from their community and professional development on supporting and building Assets with children in their care.
