We are excited to launch this year’s annual Sparta Church Golf Classic, by Sparta Youth and proudly sponsored by TRS!
This event has been a much-enjoyed day for our community over the years, and we were thrilled to bring it back last year and to invite you to join us again this year!
This year, we are raising funds to renovate our space for youth here at Sparta Church
Over the last several years, we have seen a decline in "third spaces" for youth in many communities. Third spaces are physical locations besides the home and school or work where people can gather. Where teens in the past might gather at the mall or bowling alley, the current generation is increasingly finding community and connection through online devices instead of physical gathering places. Statistics show how this has significantly affected this next generation, leading to isolation and a surge in mental health struggles in teens. At Sparta Youth we are committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for youth in Sussex County to find community and support, and transforming our youth space so that it will serve hundreds of our community’s youth on a weekly basis. Your support at this event will invest significantly in the Youth of our community for many years to come! Thank you for your generous partnership in this goal!
