Spark! Community Center

The mission of the Spark! Community Center, Inc. is to: 1) provide quality social and educational programs that inspire and empower adults with special needs to become more independent and meet their full potential; 2) to provide volunteer and mentoring opportunities for members of the community to become engaged with adults with special needs; 3) to provide a variety of programs and events that will foster and enhance the social inclusion and integration of people with special needs into the community; and 4) to strive to provide solutions to solve challenges faced by people with special needs and their families in the areas of housing, transportation, quality of life, and advocacy.

We believe in an integrated society where everyone is valued for their abilities rather than their disabilities. Our core philosophy is that everyone has a hidden talent or gift worth sharing with the world, a "spark" if you will. Too often that spark is overlooked in people with disabilities, which is why we created a community center that helps them to reach their full potential while strengthening their ties to the Upper Valley community.
