SparkEd is an alternative Junior High School leadership program focusing on experiential education (learning by doing) in two main pillars. The first is issue education (educating oneself and others about issues of social and environmental justice, through the preparation of presentations on these issues for classmates and/or the school at large). The second is active education (gaining the tools and skills to organize around these issues at the grassroots level, through the organization and execution of projects that actively involve students in their communities).
