CEO of Bill Wilson Center

What Keeps Me Awake at Nights…

Sparky Harlan

I have been Executive Director/CEO of Bill Wilson Center in Santa Clara County for 26 years.  Serving over 10,000 youth and their family members every year, our services include counseling, housing, education, and prevention (website:  www.billwilsoncenter.org )  My expertise includes working with runaway and homeless youth, foster youth, and youth involved with the justice system.  Bill Wilson Center operates under guiding principles that permeates most of my blogs.   On a personal note, I am a single mom of a teenager and I enjoy hiking in my spare time.  My other blog “hikingsiliconvalley” lists my recent hikes.

  1. Sparky … a blast from the past … 8th grade, Columbia!! I’ve been communicating with another 8th grade alum and you were mentioned so I searched you out on the Internet. I have been consumed reading all about the Bill Wilson Center and its involvement with our troubled young generation. I’m glad to see that you are doing well in this incredible journey of life. Best wishes to you.
