SPARC is a community service organization that aims to not only get SMU students involved in the Dallas community but to additionally ensure that they are fully aware of the reasons why they are doing service. The organization does not have any service requirements, so to speak, but instead we encourage that our members make the time to make a difference. If you have a free weekend, we are here to ensure that you have an opportunity to do worthwhile service, as we have a project almost every weekend in the fall and spring semester. Just check out our projects page!

SPARC (Students Promoting Awareness, Responsibility and Citizenship) was created by a group of SMU students dedicated to emphasizing the need for the SMU community to become involved in and promote community activities. These activities focus on the areas of volunteer service, social consciousness and citizenship. SPARC is advised by the Leadership and Community Involvement (LCI) office, and supported as an umbrella service organization on campus.

A united campus dedicated to outreach through community involvement.

SPARC fosters the development of socially conscious citizens and a relationship with their communities through education, action, and reflection.
