SPARC LINK-UP is an innovative daytime program that offers highly engaging experiences and opportunities for young adults who have finished high school in community integration and independent living activities. SPARC offers a range of young adult growth opportunities, and this program supports higher ability participants with a 4:1 staff ratio. Participants learn about navigating their own world by being part of a community, and learning how to utilize municipal services, public transportation, visiting exhibits and local cultural sites, going on tours, handling currency, and practicing pre-vocational skills. Additionally, the group participates in community service, volunteer work and intergenerational experiences with children and senior citizens. SPARC provides experiences that promote lifelong learning through instruction in life skills, guest instructors and educational programs that engage our participants’ mind, body and spirit.
