Sparks United is a program dedicated to inspiring children to develop a healthy and balanced lifestyle, creative intuitions, mental agility, and social fluency in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our enrichments are joyfully chosen to provide exposure to all aspects of the arts. Our instructors are not only talented in these fields outside of the classroom, but passionate about instructing the next generation on how to pursue what ignites the spark of creativity within them.
From classic art and theatre to modern day podcast and journalism, Sparks United strives to provide a high quality experience for every child. Our selection of enrichments continues to grow as we learn more about our kids and the world around them.
Below you will find our current enrichment classes:
ENRICHMENTS
bringing the goodness

JOURNALISM
First, students are learning how to safely and securely have an online presence. This class helps kids and their families build their YouTube channel. Conversational skills are developed while students also learn the art of disagreeing with other opinions without being disrespectful.
PIANO
Students learn critical thinking, math skills, perseverance, discipline, and soft skills while exploring the wonder of a new tool.
ART
Students study form, drawing, and painting as they express themselves while simultaneously learning and studying the classics.
CULINARY
Students learn the invaluable skill of being able to prepare a healthy and affordable meal for themselves and others through guided practice. They also learn food safety and are introduced to the fundamentals of culinary arts.
PODCAST
DRAMA
From co-writing plays to creating stage settings, students are introduced to the skills needed to pursue a future in the theatre.
DRUMS
All levels of skill and experience are welcome as students learn basic rhythms, counting, and cadences. Classes build on one another and each semester ends with a chance for the class to perform in front of their family and peers.
CHOIR
Students begin with vocal coaching and warmups. They transition to learning how to sing different parts while in a group to performing in front of their peers. Choir puts focus on blending students confidence with their capability and at the end of the semester will celebrate with a concert.

OUR TEAM
implementing the goodness
We wouldn’t be here today without the meeting of two guys who happened to be working for the same Boys & Girls Club. Through multiple conversations and a little bit of time, they dreamt up the reality that is Sparks United. Our founders had a passion to see quality programs provided to the children; programs that challenged them to expand their minds through creative abstract thoughts. Programs that didn’t skimp on excellence and quality due to their location – but ones that carried the belief that every child should have an opportunity to learn from passionate and engaged instructors.
So they made it happen. Sparks United was launched in the summer of 2018 in Gainesville, Georgia with a desire to ignite wonder through the power of the arts in every child possible.
These are our founders.
