The SPARK after-school and summer program...

...is the result of many local agencies, organizations, and individuals (including  the UW Extension 4H program, Ashland Parks and Rec, and the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute) collaborating to create a fun, safe, inspiring, adventurous
​space for tweens and teens to ignite their inner superhero. 

 Research has shown that teens who develop healthy relationships with positive adults and who find activities and pursuits that they are passionate about are less likely to engage with drugs, alcohol, smoking and other risky behaviors.
     
Our mentors work with our students to help them learn about themselves, discover their passions and pursue those interests in healthy ways.
