Mission
START 1 SPARK BELIEVES EVERY STUDENT DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THEIR INTERESTS, BUILD CONFIDENCE, AND FEEL A SENSE OF BELONGING AT SCHOOL. WE IGNITE STUDENT POTENTIAL BY EXPANDING ACCESS TO EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS, ATHLETICS, MUSIC, ARTS, AND CLUBS-THAT SPARK CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY, LEADERSHIP, AND CONNECTION. BY INCREASING ACCESS TO EXTRACURRICULARS, WE HELP STUDENTS DISCOVER THEIR PASSIONS, DEVELOP LIFELONG SKILLS, AND BECOME ENGAGED MEMBERS OF THEIR SCHOOL COMMUNITIES. WHEN STUDENTS ARE CONNECTED AND SUPPORTED BEYOND THE CLASSROOM, THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO THRIVE IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND.
