Spark Mentoring Program at Pantoja Charter
Spark addresses the drop-out crisis by connecting volunteer professionals with underserved, at-risk, 7th graders in workplace apprenticeships to "spark" their potential. Through hands-on activities within a meaningful adult relationship, Spark mentors help students understand and re-engage in the relevance of their education. This year Spark will be launching at Antonia Pantoja Charter School, with a cohort of 15 students who will engage in life changing apprenticeships.
