Established in 2011, Sparks of Hope® is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer nonprofit organization that offers direct healing services to children and teens who have been impacted by abuse; assisting child survivors by walking alongside them in their healing journey to find their courage and their voice. Based in Portland, Oregon, Sparks of Hope offers services statewide. The plan for the future is to expand nationwide. Sparks of Hope's number one priority is to meet the needs of our most vulnerable youth in whatever capacity we can. Sparks of Hope believes that every child deserves to go to a safe, supportive, and fun camp.Spark so Hope assists children and teens to overcome the barriers they face as survivors of abuse. Without early intervention, child survivors have a high probability to tank their life. They fall victim to illegal drugs and alcohol use to numb the pain. By doing what we can do to intervene, we can make a huge difference in a child's life. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal and break the cycle—rather than perpetuate it.To encourage healing and success, Sparks of Hope offers healing camps and mentoring to help these children move from brokenness into wholeness.Sparks of Hope's holds multiple camps throughout the year - separate Boys & Girls Healing Youth Camps® exclusively for abused children.We are creating intentional safety and a place of healing to assist them in their long journey of healing thereby allowing them to be kids again and regain a piece of their childhood that was stolen. *Camp tuition is free to all campers and 100% sponsored through the generous donations of our corporate and business partners, as well as individual donors.Igniting Sparks of Hope in the hearts of abused children and teens since 2011!™Sparks of Hope is a registered trademark in the US Patent and Trademark Office.
