United Community's Neighborhood Community Centers are places where residents of all ages connect with their neighbors, learn to lead, and make changes that strengthen the community where their families live.
In our centers, adults and youth are engaged in community programming, leadership development activities, and social and educational opportunities that further their personal and professional development. With community partners like the Fairfax Department of Neighborhood & Community Services, we also provide resources for learning, mentorship, and health screenings to community residents. One of our main Community Center programs is our SPARK program -- a multifaceted youth development program for students in grades 1 - 12. Success through Purpose, Achievement, Respect and Knowledge (SPARK) is designed to build positive momentum in each participant's life. More than 80 youth are enrolled over the year, with 94% of the students showing improvement in their grades and social skills, and more than 75% of parents actively involved in their children's lives. SPARK also provides a safe after-school and summer environment where at-risk youth can receive homework help, learn new skills, and engage in activities that promote leadership and intervention/prevention of negative behaviors. The program focuses on:
