Staff

From its inception, the Generation Spark team pledged that the imprint of youth would be reflected in every phase of this intergenerational relationship ministry.

To that end, we have engaged over 50 high school students in focus groups. In addition, Hope College student consultants have participated in the program research, design, development, implementation and evaluation of the Generation Spark model.
