SPARK (Senior Peers Actively Renewing Knowledge)

SPARK

Welcome to the SPARK Web site!

The SPARK Philosophy

SPARKS’s philosophy is to provide, at modest cost, learning and fun social experiences for participants.  There are no prerequisites, tests or grades for classes.  Instructors are usually members who have a strong interest in a particular topic and, are not paid.

SPARK is an Elderhostel Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) and a member of the Elderhostel Institute Network (EIN.)

SPARK partners with the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC.)  This allows SPARK to have an LLI in a collegiate environment supported by the intellectual and cultural resources of the university. 

There is an annual membership fee of $40.
