Learning Experiences
The value of relationships is deeply understood in schools and youth-serving organizations, yet considerable numbers of staff and leaders say relationships are often overlooked or undervalued as a topic for professional development.
We offer several learning experiences that will inspire and equip you and your organization to help young people thrive.
Participants of Search Institute workshops leave empowered with knowledge on our research-informed frameworks, practices and strategies, and clear next steps to further their youth thriving goals.

Continuous Improvement
We offer surveys, measurement tools, resources, and research-to-practice partnerships to support practitioners on their improvement journeys and to help organizations increase their impact on the young people they serve.
Surveys and Measurement. When it comes to young people’s success, who they know is often as important as what they know. Our surveys are used by schools, organizations, coalitions, and programs that seek to understand young people’s lives through their strengths, supports, and resources.
Research-to-Practice Partnerships. Beyond survey administration, Search Institute also offers data coaching and support that helps build organizational and practitioner capacity to collect, make meaning, and use data to inform ongoing work. Supports include data walkthroughs, facilitated focused conversations, and much more.
