A SPARK Club is a short-term club that is geared towards a specified topic, and are led by 4-H staff or volunteers, who are knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. SPARK Clubs must meet for at least six hours, but the schedule depends on what fits the content best. Some may meet for one day or some may meet on multiple occasions.
