Finding the S.P.A.R.K. Beyond Trauma

Did you know that BOOST has been offering trainings, workshops, and learning communities online over the past year?

Many of our past sessions are available for rewatch on our YouTube page, with new videos added regularly. We currently have over 100 free educational videos for you to enjoy!

On July 30, 2020, Ashley Hunt of The SPARK Initiative shared resources that you can use with the student and community populations you serve.

The SPARK Initiative is a non-profit organization with a mission to cultivate human potential and resilience through an understanding of the mind, supporting communities through education, mentoring and coaching.

You can hear more from Ashley on the “FIND YOUR SPARK” podcast, featuring real-life stories of realizing the potential and impact of your SPARK, in the middle of a busy life. Hosted by Ashley and Brooke Wheeldon-Reece, President of The SPARK Initiative, each episode dives deep into conversations about life, family, running a business, the youth they work with, and the impact their work has daily. The episodes are funny, digestible, honest, and profoundly helpful. As working moms and entrepreneurs, Brooke and Ashley navigate the sticky realities of daily life, all while working to make this world a better place.

BOOST has also created several documents to support your learning and to help you be accountable, reflective, and gain perspective in your learning process. Give yourself a metacognitive boost and create an action plan to apply your learning experience implementation. We have a PD Tracker designed specifically to complement our YouTube videos, as well as a comprehensive BOOST Professional Development Plan that allows you to intentionally plan and track your participation in professional trainings that support your knowledge, skills, and career goals while meeting the needs of your organization.
