Spark is a Career Exploration and Self-Discovery Program that gives middle school students opportunities to understand, experience, and pursue what's possible for their future. By partnering with schools and local companies, educators and working professionals, families and supporters, we inspire young people to explore who they can become at the most critical point in their journey of self-discovery. This is The Possibility Movement.
