About SparkED
A dedicated group of sex educators
We create and refine training and tools for educators and community partners, so they can meet the sex education needs of the young people they serve.
Who we are
Educators supporting educators
SparkED began as a program at Planned Parenthood affiliates in the Pacific Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana and Kentucky. We became an independent company in November 2024.
Our short eLearning courses combine self-directed study with virtual instructor-led sessions, so you can learn in the way that suits you. With an emphasis on racial equity and social justice, your students will see themselves.
