Spokane Public Schools (SPS), LaunchNW, and contributing partners have launched Engage In Real Life, a city-wide initiative aimed at providing more opportunities for students and families to get involved in a community club, sport or activity.

As a collective, SPS and LaunchNW will showcase the importance of student involvement in clubs, activities and sports. Parents and guardians will have a streamlined, one-stop shop to find activities that best fit their students’ interests. Students will complete their IRL Plan this school year to share what activities they are engaged in and which ones SPS should adopt.

The community’s ability to engage in after-school, real life activities is a high priority. Out-of-school programs can promote safety, well-being, health, academic achievement, and most importantly, get students off devices and into real-life activities.
