SPARks & SPARks 2.0
WHAT IS SPARKS?
ISRAEL
SPARKS is special program designed for teens from orthodox homes to attend a summer program in Israel, Europe or the U.S.
Most SPARKS programs are boys-only or girls-only programs that focus on an area of interest, such as learning, chesed (social action), the arts, sports, travel, and/or volunteering.
SPARKS offers a unique scholarship program that reduces the cost of the summer trip by as much as 50%, allowing all teens, no matter their financial situation, to spend a summer on a SPARKS program.
