So, why shouldn’t this catalog end up in your recycling bin?

You aren’t holding a piece of marketing trash filled with “stuff you should buy.” More than a list of books and program materials, these pages offer a genuine vision for transforming your work with young people.

At Search Institute we are here to validate several things you already know to be true: • Helping youth succeed is not something any parent, teacher, or program leader can do alone.

• Your job is easier when you have tools that make your work with kids fun and meaningful.

• Data and research are most powerful when they result in positive change.

• Strong relationships with kids, parents, and colleagues are the real keys to success in your work.

You know these things are true, but you also know how hard it is to achieve them. That’s where we come in.

We are committed to delivering resources that change the way people think. We work with professionals who change the way communities and schools work. And most importantly, we change the way kids are empowered to succeed.

If you receive one valuable piece of mail in your inbox this year—one message that fills you with optimism instead of cluttering your busy life—this is it.

Search Institute® is an independent, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization committed to helping create healthy communities for every young person. Because we believe that “all kids are our kids,” we create books and other materials that welcome and respect people of all races, ethnicities, cultures, genders, religions, economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and abilities. Our Mission: To provide leadership, knowledge, and resources to promote healthy children, youth, and communities.

resources about SPIRITUAL development Souls in Transition The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults

NEW!

by Christian Smith with Patricia Snell This much-anticipated follow-up study to the landmark book, Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers, continues the exploration of the importance of religion for young people. Based on candid interviews with thousands of young people tracked over a five-year period, Souls in Transition reveals how the religious practices of the teenagers portrayed in Soul Searching have been strengthened, challenged, and often changed as the teens have moved into adulthood. Among the surprising findings is that the common wisdom that religiosity declines sharply during the young adult years is shown to be greatly exaggerated. This follow-up study will prove essential reading for youth ministers, pastors, parents, teachers, and students at church-related schools, and anyone who wishes to know how religious practice is affected by the transition into adulthood in America today.
