By Cristian ArguetaSoto, Fort Worth Report March 20, 2022 Nonprofit Fort Worth SPARC Executive Director Tobi Jackson watched students at the nonprofit agency's three-day spring break camp on March 17. "We focus in 76105 because it is on the state's top 25 for need — it's No. 8," Jackson said. "But more than that, we focus on 76105 because there is so much opportunity for the kids, and we try to bring that opportunity here." Jackson has been the director of Fort Worth SPARC since 2015. The nonprofit focuses on ensuring "all children have equitable access to after-school programs that promote intellectual, creative and healthy development to create engaged and productive citizens." The three-day camp at Sycamore Park, 2525 E. Rosedale St., allowed students in the 76105 area code to come out and have fun during their spring break — a lot of the students do not have the means to travel outside of the city during their school break, Jackson said.
