Our primary focus is supporting and educating YOUTH through our SPARK Mentoring Curricula.
Serving Youth & Our Community
We are a non-profit organization that offers paid services, and the money we generate allows us to give back to our community in direct and tangible ways. Every dollar earned (through the SPARK mentoring curricula, and other services) means that we can give free services, support, and education to anyone in our community who is under the age of 18. We also serve adults at-risk through local sex-trafficking support groups, domestic violence outreach and in the criminal justice system. Our impact is further increased through donations, funding, and strategic partnerships.
Here are some of the ways we’ve made an impact in our local community this year…
The S.P.A.R.K. Curriculum was delivered to
582 STUDENTS
Taught across 2 local counties (Hillsborough County & Manatee County) this year, at no extra cost to students or their families.
Free Support to ANYONE Under the Age of 18
We gladly offer our services and support to all youth and children in our community, absolutely free of charge. Always.
52 Weeks of Local Support Groups
Helping survivors of sex trafficking regain hope, and plan for a bright future, we lead a weekly support group at a local safe house.
SPARKing Insight to Well-Being Jail Program
We work with juveniles, groups of women, and Veteran men in the criminal justice system to find their SPARK and see that they are NOT broken.
