About the SPARK Academy
The SPARK Academy is based around the concept of inner strength. Everyone has it, but not everyone knows how to find it or use it. In particular, adolescents can have a really hard time believing in their own self worth and without this, no one can live a fruitful, joyous life.
Helping young people find their inner spark to ignite a passion for life - that's what we're about.

About the

Drawing on both first-hand experience and current research, The SPARK Academy consolidates the best of what's out there into practical, useable strategies for adolescents and their families. Concepts such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, positive psychology, adolescent brain development, the flow concept and effective 21st Century teaching and learning skills have been pulled apart and repacked to help pre- and early teens find their spark, ignite it and use it to approach life's ups and downs with confidence and optimism.

About the
|
The SPARK Academy believes one of the most influential factors in helping adolescents become active local and global citizens lies in the existence of a positive surrounding community. This is why any program participant automatically becomes part of the Spark Community. Along with providing a space for peer mentoring, the Spark Community aims to connect and engage teens, and their families, with regular community events - from movie nights to fundraising events to teamwork challenges.
