Kids' connection to fun and safe after-school activities and
clubs
"Staying after school" is a good thing, thanks to SPARX. Kids will
love all the great clubs and activities to choose from, and parents
will love knowing their kids have somewhere safe and fun to go
after school.
SPARX offers young people a safe place to hang out with their
friends, choose from a variety of clubs and activities, or get help
with schoolwork. The program offerings change every four weeks, so
there's always cool stuff to do.
