Welcome to the SPARK Initiative! We are a non-profit organization whose mission is to cultivate human potential and resilience through an understanding of the mind. We support our community through evidenced-based education, mentoring and coaching. We are delighted to be a part of the CASEL approved SEL curriculums.

Ashley Hunt, will be our presenter!

Ashley Hunt is The SPARK Initiative’s Director of Program Development, Youth Mentor and Co-Creator of the S.P.A.R.K. Mentoring curricula (Speaking to the Potential, Ability and Resilience inside Kids). After seeing her personal relationships transform through an understanding of the mind in 2015, she left her 11-year corporate career in insurance to pursue her passion for educating youth.

She now works as an integral part of the development, coordination and implementation of S.P.A.R.K. curriculum and training events in our own community and around the world. Ashley brings an understanding of the mind to life with her natural ability to connect with the youth she mentors. Ashley lives in Tampa, FL with her husband Justin and two children.
