Project SPARC Digital Stories – Series 1
Summer-Fall 2019
During the first year of our research, we invited a group of young adults from Springfield to develop digital stories reflecting on their personal transitions out of high school. Each story shares about a unique journey through the transition, and both the obstacles and the opportunities that these youth faced.

Project SPARC Digital Stories – Series 2
Summer 2021
In a later phase of our project, we worked with a second group of young adults who identified an out of school program that supported their transition out of high school to create digital stories. These young adults shared the stories of how their diverse out of school programs (including college prep programs, youth advocacy organizations, and more) helped them make big steps into young adulthood.
