Martha Vibbert, PhD, Executive Director

"SPARK is dedicated to the idea that all children, no matter how difficult their circumstances, can be resilient.  No child should be denied access to state-of-the-art, therapeutic care because their needs are too complex or because they lack the ability to pay.  SPARK reaches out to Boston's highest risk children and families -- offering a model of comprehensive care that includes children of all ages and fosters long-term relationships.  We want every child to believe in bright possibilities for their future."
