Spark is an app where users can craft an individualized political and volunteer experience that channels passion into productive action by redirecting young people away from the pitfalls of social media politics and towards a social platform that brings activism alive.
Gone are the days spent lamenting the inaccessibility of tangibly supporting activist causes. Spark allows people to set concrete goals for themselves - specific actions they will fulfill in order to support their goals - and will track individual progress. Users contribute in ways that match their lifestyle and interests, varying from traditional political volunteer work such as phone banking and canvassing, to more creative efforts for social change such as reading groups on social justice topics, or volunteer work at a community garden or community center. Spark also fosters community, an integral structure supporting meaningful activism, by connecting people with their friends, allowing them to view the work of others already on Spark, and encouraging new members to join.
