If you are asking "What is B.U.S.Y.?" - read on . . B.U.S.Y. "Building Up Strengths in Youth" is not a program, and there is no cost involved to participants. Building Up Strengths in Teens is an initiative seeking to connect the dots within the Greater Pottstown community, so that all organizations, institutions, coalitions, businesses, neighbors/neighborhoods and individuals band together for our kids. We can share a common language, common values, and a common goal of building up strengths in our youth so that they are all better equipped to resist high-risk behaviors and experience more thriving and successful lives. The result is not only healthier kids, but also a safer, happier, and healthier community. 
We propose to do this using Search Institute's, 40 Developmental Assets as a basis of bonding the community together to help our youth, thus experiencing positive social change. Search Institute's Healthy Communities - Healthy Youth model of social change is proactive, positive, and powerful. It challenges our community to tap the caring, creative energies of families, neighborhoods, schools, congregations, workplaces, youth organizations, and groups of people to engage in the important work of transforming our community into a united, healthy environment committed to youth.
This movement is proactive, positive, and powerful! It challenges our community to tap the caring, creative energies of families, neighborhood, schools, congregations, workplaces, youth organizations, and groups of people to begin the important work of transforming our community into a united, healthy environment committed to youth.
