SPARK is a not-for-profit all volunteer educational
organization committed to the success and well being
of the single-parent family. Membership is
open to all parents of children under eighteen, with
or without custody, who are single by reason of
separation, divorce, death, or never married.
SPARK was incorporated in the state of
Maryland in September 1987 by nine founding
members and serves the
greater Washington, DC area with members
throughout Maryland, Virginia, and DC.
Our mission is "to build a community where single parents can share the knowledge and provide the mutual support needed to experience a rewarding life for ourselves while raising our children to be competent and well-adjusted people." Our primary means of accomplishing this mission is the active participation of the membership in planning and presenting a balanced program of family, educational, and social activities.
SPARK plans a monthly calendar of events with the help of its members such as pot-luck dinners, outings to museums, concerts, and theater, educational presentations and discussions on parenting concerns, adult social activities, and numerous activities that families can do together.
