Welcome to SPARK
(Single Parents Raising Kids)

SPARK is a single parent organization serving Montgomery County, Maryland and the surrounding Washington DC suburban areas. Formed in 1987 by nine founding members, SPARK has helped thousands of single parents cope with issues of parenting.

Our mission is "to build a community where single parents can share the knowledge and provide the mutual support needed to experience a rewarding life for ourselves while raising our children to be competent and well-adjusted people." Our primary means of accomplishing this mission is the active participation of the membership in planning and presenting a balanced program of family, educational, and social activities.

SPARK plans a monthly calendar of events with the help of its members such as pot-luck dinners, outings to museums, concerts, and theater, educational presentations and discussions on parenting concerns, adult social activities, and numerous activities that families can do together.

Group membership is only available for current members.
