SPRINGFIELD – When you’re young, discovering and navigating to your passions can be an extensive and arduous journey. But for youth in Lane County, there is a new, dedicated space for hands-on experience, vocational learning, and plenty of room for exploration. 

Spark at Booth-Kelly, Connected Lane County (CLC)’s second innovation hub, celebrated its ribbon cutting on Sept. 15.

Located at 303 S. 5th St., Suite 150, the 11,000-square-foot facility at the Booth-Kelly Makers District provides hands-on vocational learning and training to area youth. The intent is to intersect community, education, and business for the county’s young and underserved population.
