Young Mentors 

1. What is Spark?

Spark is a leading career counselling company that assists students in choosing a career path they will enjoy, have an aptitude for, and will be rewarding in the long run. A major part of this comes from their College Admissions and Career Counselling, in which they guide students and parents through every step of the admissions process. Spark helps plan, execute, and monitor critical areas of progress, including academics, standardised testing, college essays, financial aid, building college lists, and many more. Each student is assigned a senior mentor, backed by a team of experts, and now, can choose to be assisted by the Spark Young Mentors.
