ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING

“Spark After Dark”

Spark has launched an extension of our ADS (Adult Day Services) outside of our scheduled daily program hours. This opportunity will allow participants to further integrate themselves into the surrounding communities. “Spark after Dark” will be held at our Lake County location and occur a minimum of two evening/weekend days per month. Participants will be dropped off/picked up by Spark as transportation is provided for this programming. Much like our day program, participants will be attending more elite experiences to various locations. Outing schedules will be sent home accordingly.

 

“School to Spark”

A “Career Planning” Program – STS (School to Spark), a community-based time limited Observation experience that goes into different business partners in the community to gain experience, job shadow and explore various employment opportunities that is coupled with an educational component. Spark has a wide community outreach in NE Ohio, we have businesses that have partnered with us to allow STS participants to gain valued work knowledge and skills in their community business.
