We promote positive youth development and advance equity through research and practical solutions.

At Search Institute, we believe in the potential of young people—their unique strengths, passions, and the limitless possibilities that arise with the right support. We are committed to transforming hearts and minds and inspiring action across youth support ecosystems—the various environments, relationships, and resources that contribute to the growth and well-being of young people. We strive to understand systems of access, opportunity, justice, and power in order to eliminate barriers, recognize strengths, and meet the needs of all young people to ensure access to the opportunities and resources they need to thrive.

Search Institute is more than a research organization; we transform complex findings into practical strategies and tools that support adults in co-creating spaces where youth can be and become their best selves. We work alongside our partners to refine our approaches, ensuring that change is meaningful and enduring.

  • Generate Knowledge: Our work lives in the dynamic intersection of scientific research, practitioner wisdom, and youth voice, with a commitment to expand the collective knowledge of what all youth need to thrive.
  • Co-Creating Solutions: We anticipate and solve for needs by developing research-informed frameworks, practices, and strategies that are actionable and adaptable across the youth support ecosystem. This collaborative process ensures that our solutions reflect youth voice and are centered on empowering adults to drive tangible and meaningful change.
  • Empower Action: Our work identifies and promotes best practices, innovation, and meaningful change, including dismantling silos and fostering collaboration within and across sectors. As catalysts for change, we work alongside our partners to create a more cohesive, supportive ecosystem that prioritizes the well-being of young people.

Thank you for supporting our work!
