• A sense of competence - the feeling there is something boys and girls can do
  and do well.

• A sense of usefulness - the opportunity to do something of value for other people.

• A sense of belonging - a setting where an individual knows he or she has a place
  and where he or she "fits" and is accepted.

• A sense of power of influence - a chance to be heard and to influence decisions
