Volunteer with SparkShop!

Sparkshop relies on an ever-growing community of volunteers to provide our kits to Chicago students. We’re so grateful for all of their support. Below, you’ll find opportunities to get involved!

 

Individual Volunteers

We are always looking for more people to join our volunteer team! We periodically ask volunteers to join packing, fundraising, and outreach events, and more. Complete our application linked below to receive emails about upcoming volunteer opportunities.

Our individual volunteer opportunities are a 2 to 4 hour commitment; near downtown Chicago.

 

Corporate Volunteer Events

If you are looking for a fun event to engage your employees and do some good, Sparkshop can help! We facilitate multiple corporate kit-packing events a year. We facilitate packing events on a case-by-case basis. To begin planning with SparkShop, we ask to have a 30 minute planning meeting to get to know each other and go over logistics.

AMOpportunities is passionate about giving back to the local Chicago community while helping further access to STEM education. The SparkShop team is organized, efficient, and fun, helping you make the most of your time. We love that our team has a visual of our efforts, with the number of boxes completed translating to the number of students directly impacted.

Our annual volunteer event was a huge hit this year with our group of 80 employees that attended and assisted in packing the kits. The SparkShop team made the set-up and take-down process as seamless as possible for us, they brought all the required supplies and communicated everything to us in a very organized fashion prior to the event. I am very excited to continue this super fun, easy, and impactful volunteer event with SparkShop in the years to come!
