Spark Mindset is on a mission to break the cycle of poverty in low-income communities.

According to the National Center for Children Poverty, adolescents 12 through 17 years of age, 41 percent (10 million) live in low-income families, and 19 percent (4.7 million) live in poor families.

Students who do not attend college or who drop out quickly are predominantly persons from low-income families, living in underdeveloped areas within major cities. Over 50% of Black and Hispanics do not graduate from high school.

Through their technology programs, they will provide 500,000 high school students with opportunities for meaningful jobs or pathways to college in the next ten years
