Founded in 1979 as a Denver-Metro Volunteer Center, Spark has been the statewide leader in volunteerism for over four decades. From training skilled professionals to mobilizing spontaneous disaster volunteers, we’ve supported every type of service in communities across Colorado. Formerly Spark the Change Colorado, Spark has continued to adapt and grow to serve as a vital part of the Colorado volunteerism landscape and support volunteer service, training, and engagement in all forms.
We inspire, engage, mobilize, and empower thousands of individuals, organizations, and communities to become a driving force for good. We help connect volunteers looking to give their time and talents to programs and organizations that fit their interests and needs. We operate our own direct service programs that engage volunteers with specific expertise and skill sets. We provide resources, education, and training for nonprofit volunteer programs to help bolster the volunteering community at large. We help companies along in their Corporate Social Responsibility journey with training & events that meet community needs.
In 2025, we proudly joined forces with Project Helping to expand our reach and impact, offering even more opportunities for Coloradans to connect, serve, and make a difference. Together, we spark mental wellness and community connection through the power of volunteerism. Join us and be the SPARK that starts a movement of good! Volunteer today and help create a brighter, more connected Colorado.
