Sparky’s Kids™ maintains several alliances with churches and youth organizations, such as The Samaritan Inn, America Can Academy, The Boys & Girls Club of America and many others. Through these alliances, a direct channel of financially disadvantaged children are reached and provided with computers and training, as well as enjoying the benefits of better developed computer training labs. The programs offered provide strong moral guidance, positive role models and life-changing educational programs designed to save kids from lives of crime and failure.

The Samaritan Inn was established in 1984 after community leaders joined together to address the issue of homelessness in Collin County. They formed a Board of Directors and incorporated the Collin County Care Center to administer programs and services to the Samaritan Inn. As of December 2003, Collin County has over 615,000 residents.
As the only facility serving the homeless in Collin County, it provides services free of charge through funding made from donations by churches, service organizations, corporations, and individuals. As a member of the United Way of Collin County, it also receives funding from grant applications.

America Can! embraces students society overlooks.

Determined not to be left behind, these kids voluntarily seek a high school diploma against the highest of odds. With the help of generous donors, our academies can help students learn on their own terms, providing a path to economic independence.

America Can! is a nation-wide network of public charter schools. Started in 1985 as a remedial program for juvenile offenders, the program has expanded to kid’s facing tough social issues – for example, drop outs, those living below the poverty level and must work to support their families and pregnant teens/young mothers. If these kids don’t receive academic assistance and counseling now, they face a life of constant economic struggle.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas inspire and empower all youth, with special concern for those from disadvantaged circumstances, to achieve their full potential in a positive, safe and fun environment.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas began operations in November 1965 as the Boys Club of Dallas. In 1990, the organization added “Girls” to its title and an aggressive effort to serve both girls and boys was initiated. Today, thousands of boys and girls from low-income neighborhoods benefit from the building centered programs and services designed specifically for them at nine local Clubs and one extension. During the first four decades of service in Dallas, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas have served over 100,000 members.

The programs offered provide strong moral guidance, positive role models and life-changing educational programs designed to save kids from lives of crime and failure. Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas is an organization that stands for traditional values, while providing progressive programs that address the problems faced by the youth of today, including substance abuse, teen pregnancy, gangs and violence.
