Spark Action Lab

Connecting youth workers through creativity, curiosity and courage

Who are we?

We want to see a Pacific Northwest that is accountable to young people first.

We believe that the answers to the most pressing challenges in youth homelessness will come from the brilliance of young people and direct service staff. Spark Action Lab leverages youth and community-led research and organizing to highlight the creativity and connections among youth and service providers in the Pacific Northwest, turning emerging possibilities into reality. 


Our mission, should you choose to accept it, is to end youth homelessness together.
