Project Implementation Support
If your organization has a big vision but limited internal capacity, Spark & Compass can step in to help get your initiatives off the ground. From strategic plans to specific program rollouts, we provide hands-on implementation support with:

  • Board policies

  • Strategic priorities

  • Resource allocation

  • Accountability and reporting practices

We ensure your aspirational goals for students lead to real, system-wide change.
