Spark's mission is to provide life-changing apprenticeships to youth in underserved communities across the United States.
About Us
What does it take to change the trajectory of a child’s life? At Spark, we believe it takes a mentor, career exposure and skills that bridge classroom and workplace learning. As a nationwide mentoring and high school readiness nonprofit, we match students at risk of dropping out of school in tailored apprenticeships with mentors who can help them see how their interests, career goals and education intersect in a real workplace. With more engaged students and improved graduation rates, Spark apprenticeships keep students engaged, on track and ready!
