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.

he Spark Change Project (SCP) will empower, inspire, and train the next generation of female activists of color. The Excellence and Advancement Foundation 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 and Spark Change Camp in the summer of 2024.
