Valleys Kids has a dedicated Youth Arts project called Sparc, which has a team of skilled and qualified youth arts and digital arts practitioners who work with young people in a variety of settings. Using creative techniques, the children and young people explore different areas of their lives and the lives of others in a positive way.

The Sparc team is an integral part of the community development work at Valleys Kids.

Professionally trained Youth Arts workers who came to Drama Workshop and Youth Theatre themselves as children, or were from the area and volunteered to help mostly run Sparc. They understand from this inside the difference that the arts can make in changing lives and they have returned to pass on their experience, knowledge and expertise. The Youth Arts workers understand the barriers that young people can face in accessing the arts so they are always on hand to offer support when needed and to encourage people to participate in a way that is helpful to them.

All Sparc workshops are free to ensure that cost is never a barrier.
