Wave Week @ Villanova brings together 12 - 17 year olds who want to change the world. Through a combination of leadership training and community service, Spark the Wave helps teenagers identify their passions and turn them into positive community change. Find out more!
An in-person, five-day immersive service and leadership program with both commuter and residential options.
During Wave Week, participants have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, network with local non-profits, create a service project of their own design, and meet a ton of like-minded peers. We can’t wait to spend the summer doing something awesome with you!
At Spark the Wave, we empower, train, and mentor the next generation of leaders who will impact the world through a lifelong commitment to community service. It is our belief that the young adults who complete our programs will return to their service groups—school, religious, and/or community-based—better prepared to make a greater impact in their communities. This impact will eventually reach far beyond the youth participants of the program. As young leaders with the commitment and skills to turn caring into action, these teens will undoubtedly make positive contributions to their communities for many years to come.
