SPARK CHANGE PROJECT
Empowering Black and Brown Girls to Develop an Agenda and Testify to Local Policy Makers
Our Mission: The Spark Change Project’s mission is to center girls of color as leaders in advocacy, who discover their activist voices and galvanize their peers to engage in their own passions for positive social change.
PROGRAM
The Spark Change Project (SCP) will empower, inspire, and train the next generation of female activists of color. The Excellence Project and GIRLS empowerment network began this project in 2021 with two successful cohorts to date. SCP will center a small group of girls of color as leaders, who will gain a part-time job, find their own activist voices, and galvanize a wider network of their peers to develop a policy agenda—through the delivery of a special Spark Change Day of advocacy. The program will culminate as the Spark Change Girls testify at the 2025 Texas legislative session.
Spark Change Day
Details
Spark Change Day inspires girls of color in grades 6-12 to be civically engaged and helps them develop their unique voices to advocate for themselves and their community. This event will include training on the power of advocacy, a review of the legislative process, activities exploring issues girls face, and the opportunity to hear from local and national policymakers.
Details will be posted soon!!!!

*Although the overall mission of the Spark Change Project is to amplify the voices of Black and Brown girls, this is a gender diverse event that is open to all girls and non-binary folks.”
