LET’S SPARK CHANGE.

HELLO.

We’re Spark-Y. A mission-driven nonprofit that provides access and opportunity to youth through hands-on education, projects, and employment rooted in sustainability and entrepreneurship.

Since 2013, over 13,000 youth have participated in our award-winning programs, sparking personal and professional development, and collective care for the Earth we all share.

Are you just another
typical nonprofit?

Nope.

Tell me more. Where are you making a difference?

In these four areas of impact.

Love what you do.
How can I help?
