Our Teens know that it's not where you're coming from - it's where you're going that counts. These are six strengths that B.U.S.Y. Teens are busy building:
1) Team Work
2) Character
3) Communication
4) Respect
5) Problem Solving
6) Goal Setting
If you are asking "What is B.U.S.Y.?" - read on . . B.U.S.Y. "Building Up Strengths in Youth" 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 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 do this using the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets as a basis of bonding the community together to help our youth, thus experiencing positive social change. 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.
