The asset-building Search Institute, which provides resources to promote youth leadership, has two new publications of interest to community stakeholders who envision thriving young people. How To Hold A Youth Summit Planning Guide tells you how to bring a youth summit to your community. It is designed so young people can be the leaders of the summit with its step-by-step directions on how to conduct every aspect of an effective youth summit.

Step By Step is a young person's guide -- a let's-get-going workbook -- to youth and anyone interested in involving young people in change-making in their community. Sections include: "People Who Can Help", "Putting Together a Plan", and "Getting the Resources You Need".

And, finally, The Journey of Community Change is a tour guide to helping to build a strong community initiative for healthy communities and healthy youth initiatives. It includes such topics as "Charting Your Course", "People to See", "Things To Do", "Culture and Customs", and "Documenting the Journey".
