• SPARC Monthly Meeting (St. Helens)

    St. Helens Community Center 2625 Gable Rd., St. Helens, OR, United States

    Monthly SPARC meetings are a wonderful way for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) to engage and connect with one another. Each month, the meetings are centered around a different theme, keeping the experience fresh and exciting. Visit the website by clicking here to find this months theme and register! The core of these meetings is to foster a sense of community. By bringing people together regularly, SPARC helps to combat social isolation, which can be a significant challenge for many individuals with IDD. The themed activities—whether it’s a craft night, a talent show, or a game day—provide a natural and enjoyable way for friendships to blossom. Participants can discover shared hobbies, laugh together, and support one another in a safe and welcoming environment. Ultimately, these monthly SPARC meetings are more than just events; they are vital opportunities for growth and connection. They celebrate the unique contributions of each individual, empowering them to build meaningful relationships and feel a deeper sense of belonging. The changing themes ensure that the program remains dynamic, consistently offering new avenues for fun, learning, and genuine human connection.
