Sparks of Hope, based in Portland, Oregon, is a small, all-volunteer nonprofit established in 2011 that provides direct healing services to children and teens affected by abuse. It runs healing camps and mentoring programs, with separate Boys and Girls Healing Youth Camps, to support survivors on their path to healing and reclaiming their voices. Camp tuition is free for all participants, funded entirely through donations from corporate partners and individual supporters, and the organization runs multiple camps throughout the year to serve youth statewide. Within the nonprofit sector, Sparks of Hope emphasizes early intervention to reduce long-term harm and the risk of turning to illegal drugs or alcohol among survivors by offering a safe, supportive environment. With a focus on meeting the needs of its most vulnerable youth, the organization aims to expand its reach beyond Oregon to serve more survivors through its healing camps and mentorship programs.
