The Fraser Region Pilot Project

Serving the communities of Surrey, Delta and Langley, BC

 

The Asset Project is working with three organizations in the South Fraser Region municipalities of Surrey, Delta and Langley. Our goal is to help these organizations develop and implement customized initiatives based on the 40 Developmental Assets. By developing these individualized strategies, we are aiming to integrate the 40 Developmental Assets into community-wide initiatives in each municipality.

Connection to Asset Building:

 

As part of the Fraser Region Asset Building pilot project Crescent Beach Community Services has integrated information on the 40 Developmental Assets into all of our programming related to children, youth and families.

 

We are actively providing information and integrating the language of Asset Building through...

  • our agency newsletter

  • postings on our program information boards

  • our parent education programs

  • our relationships with the community

  • the approach we take with working with children and youth

  •  initiating Youth Forums

  • engaging our community partners in a dialogue around Asset Building

  • shared learning opportunities

As an agency that provides community-based programs for children in their early childhood through to Seniors, the intergenerational piece of asset building is of a particular interest, and an area we are hoping to develop.

 

One of the most important goals for Crescent Beach Community Services is to provide opportunities for the White Rock/South Surrey region to learn from each other, to develop a common language while building a common understanding of Asset Building between service providers, business’ and individuals within the community. What we have learned through our work on this pilot project is that we must begin the work internally, within our own agency, and then branch out to engage the larger community through shared learning opportunities. The language of Asset Building has provided a strong foundation within which to begin this work, it has given language to the work we do every day!
