Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Spark Central is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to igniting creativity so that people of all economic backgrounds can create the future they imagine. We offer neighborhood youth creative, project-based programs that publish youth voice—especially youth whose voices are not often sought out or are marginalized. We do this via books, publications, graphic art, music, code, and more. Every youth that participates in these programs will grow in confidence, cultivate a growth mindset, and develop their future aspirations (see our program outcomes below). Spark Central is launching its first teen-run arts and literary journal in 2023, called Ignite, which will be open for submissions this fall.
