PROGRAM OVERVIEW
SPARK Academy is a program for youth ages 5-12 impacted by Natural Disaster. 
Our goal is to increase resilience in children by mobilizing volunteers to run several 6-8 week program sessions within 1-2 years. 
The program will include an art, theatre, and sports class where children will learn 6 domains known to increase resilience and have a safe place to express emotions, fears, or struggles associated with disaster and recovery.
