SPARC Red Deer Caring Adult Awards Night a success!
SPARC Caring Adult Awards Night a success
On April 27, Strengthening Positive Assets & Resiliency in Communities (SPARC), honoured 50 nominees through the SPARC Caring Adult Awards event.
SPARC is a local coalition established in 2017 that focuses on helping kids grow up great. SPARC’s work is based on 40 Developmental Assets and positive youth development.
40 Developmental Assets are building blocks of healthy development that ALL kids need to grow up healthy, caring and responsible. The higher number of assets a young person has, the more likely they are to thrive, note SPARC officials. Also, the fewer developmental assets a young person has, the more likely they are to engage in risky behaviours.
The SPARC Caring Adult Awards recognize people in the community who build assets in local young people. SPARC Champions have put on a successful event where nominees were given a gift, a letter from Mayor Ken Johnston, and time to celebrate together.
The gift the nominees received included a hand potted plant made by SPARC’s Paint the Town Positive Youth, which is a youth chapter of SPARC. The youth included positive messages on the pots thanking the nominees for “helping kids grow up great”.
