Our Mission - to expose, immerse, and engage America's children on issues of character through watching great movies…
TrueSpark is a non-profit, charitable organization that encourages positive character and fosters ethical development using inspiring lessons from movies such as Rudy, Pay It Forward, and October Sky. Ample research demonstrates that US children are exposed to several hours of media each day and witness a wide variety of good and bad messages that can dramatically affect their academic and social development. TrueSpark seeks to reduce the threat posed by harmful media exposure by raising awareness of the issue, educating audiences, and providing positive media alternatives. TrueSpark will not promote political viewpoints, environmental platforms, or religious beliefs.

TrueSpark's goal is to create a national program that will positively impact over 2 million US children aged 8 to 17 by 2015. TrueSpark carries out its mission through a variety of initiatives including: supervised afterschool programs, film viewership and reward programs, online resources to engage youth and parents about character and media literacy, and potentially a scholarship program to encourage post-secondary education. TrueSpark programs educate while providing inspirational, entertaining, and interactive experiences.
I founded this organization with the goal of helping kids reach their greatest potential in personal achievement and moral character. My hope is that our organization, the great movies we endorse, and engaged families can shape responsible citizens and ethical leaders for the future. -David Tice - Founder, TrueSpark
