Life Plan Program
SPARC Hope supports single parents in achieving self-sufficiency through higher education, strategic mentoring, and essential resources, fostering long-term stability and breaking generational poverty.
To be eligible for our Life Plan, you must be…
* A single parent with at least 50% custody of your children AND
* Working at least 20 hours per week AND
* Attending a college, university or trade school, or Institution of Higher Education (IHE) accredited by the state of Kentucky or Indiana, at least ½ time, and have a minimum 2.0 GPA, with at least 12 months left in your educational journey AND
* No cohabitation in a partnered relationship (living together but not married)
If you meet those requirements, we can begin the interview process. We will need you to supply a letter of good standing from your institution and other credentials required to qualify.
Life Plan clients may access the food pantry as often as needed. Once you become a client, you could receive help with rent, utilities, water and other financial assistance, and will have full access to our food pantry, clothing closet, access to household items, discounted car repair, and more. We try and assist with anything that would “bust your budget” while you are trying to finish your education.
