What is SPARK all about?

​On its face, SPARK is a cool, fun place for teens to hang out after school.  
We offer lots of fun activities like skateboarding, art, swimming, paddleboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking, cooking, video games, music and more.

But if you look a little closer, you’ll find more than just fun activities.
  SPARK is a place where we believe that it’s the relationships that matter most.  

We believe that all kids deserve a place where they know, beyond a doubt, that people care about them deeply.  

At SPARK we strive every day to build a culture where every kid who steps through our door knows that they belong.  

​We know that relationships with positive caring adults, combined with a sense of belonging, are the greatest protective factors we can give our youth.  

If you ask the kids who come to SPARK why they love it here, 
they may not be able to put a finger on it, but they know that SPARK just feels different, and they know that we care. 

SPARK is kindness. SPARK is compassion.  SPARK is where you belong.
