SPARC Red Deer - helping kids grow up great!
Strengthening Positive Assets & Resiliency in Communities
Our Mission
To educate and excite our community on building blocks that all children and youth need in order to thrive, which includes the 40 Developmental Assets and healthy lifestyles.
Our Vision:
To focus on the development of healthy children and youth by increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors.
We are dedicated to empowering both adults and kids by helping them recognize the 40 Developmental Assets. By nurturing these assets in ourselves and others, we unlock the potential for healthier individuals, stronger relationships, and thriving communities. When we embrace and grow these assets, we build a solid foundation for healthy development.
Our History
SPARC Red Deer is about "Strengthening Positive Assets and Resiliency in Communities."
It is a local nonprofit coalition designed to promote and educate community members and families about the '40 Developmental Assets.' The 40 Developmental Assets are research based life experiences or building blocks which all children need to grow up healthy, caring and responsible.
Our Team
Our amazing team of regulars and part-time coalition volunteers are committed to positive youth development. We take our ideas and turn them into action.

Register here for future Paint the Town Positive Events
Paint the Town Positive is the youth-driven chapter of SPARC Red Deer. The goal is for youth to give back and spread kindness in the community through various projects and initiatives that are designed and created by them.
Why get involved?
Practicing kindness gives hope, it’s heartwarming, gives us a sense of purpose, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being. It is also a great way for youth to build their resumes through volunteerism.
