IGNITING CREATIVITY

Spark Central breaks barriers to creativity like cost, confidence, and access by offering imaginative programs, access to innovative technology, and an inclusive creative community for folks of all economic backgrounds. Everyone deserves the opportunity to forge the future they imagine. As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, we rely on the generosity of people like you to keep our programs free so income is never a barrier to opportunity.

We have lots of programs that could use your help, and we've broken them down to three categories. No special skills or experience is necessary to volunteer for any of these - just bring your best self! 

Mentor youth in their creativity. In our space, we offer free public programs that ignite creativity for all ages. Those who participate will grow in confidence, cultivate a growth mindset, and develop their future aspirations. As a youth program volunteer, you might assist with setting up, cleaning up, and engaging our visitors during regular station hours or at special programs like our Level Up after-school program or camps during breaks in the District 81 school year.  Share your talents with our community. These volunteer opportunities offer the same creative, innovative, and imaginative explorations as our youth programs, but are intended for a broader audience. Spark Central also hosts activities and events not just for youth, but for teens, adults, and families as well. Volunteers have unique opportunities to bring their creativity to the station through drop-in programs as well as community and family events designed by passionate volunteers.  Help everyone access our resources. Our station and library volunteers are critical to ensuring access to all our visitors. These volunteers help adults, teens, and youth feel safe and welcomed in our space. You can also help people access our resources by being an outreach volunteer, attending events and talking about Spark Central. We have so many more opportunities in this area, like IT volunteers, maintenance volunteers, fundraising and events volunteers - you name it, we could use it! Let us know the kind of help you'd like to provide in any capacity. 

To learn more specifics about our volunteer opportunities, visit our volunteer page. To see our upcoming programs, visit our events page. 

The time commitment as a programs volunteer can vary depending on the availability and commitment from the volunteer.

Volunteer: SAN Food Pantry Collection

SAN provides a weekly food pantry for our immunocompromised clients, people living with HIV & AIDS.  On a weekly average, we server about 50 clients.  We established this program last year after a hiatus and have not been able to get connected with 2nd Harvest due to the current crisis.  We work with 2 local non-profits to source food items, but they are even having a hard time getting enough food for their own clients, let alone helping us.  

At this time, we really do not have a need for volunteers to work with our program, but we do need access to foods, especially those rich in protein like eggs, chicken breast, oats, milk, greek yogurt, beans, peanut butter, and fresh fruit and vegetables.  

SAN does have a large chest freezer and access to multiple refrigerators and enough storage to be able to store items.  

If interested and able to donate food items, please let us know.  We are able to take donations at our location with advanced notice since we are not always at the office.  Please reach out via email- support@san-nw.org

1 in 8 U.S. Women will develop breast cancer - You can help!

Loucinda D. received a devastating breast cancer diagnosis when she was in her 30s. Chemotherapy treatments and their side effects were rough enough—then she needed platelets, which weren’t immediately available. 

“In order to receive chemo, your platelets have to be above 100,000 and mine were 9,000. I headed to the emergency room for a platelet transfusion, only to have to wait for platelets to be driven to the hospital from two hours away.” 

Blood donors ensure that the one in eight women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer, like Loucinda, don’t have to wait for relief. Platelets, the part of blood that makes it clot, are one of the three components (along with red blood cells and plasma) that each blood donation provides. 

“I could have died without platelets. Platelets are extremely important to cancer patients like me,” says Loucinda. She also received two red blood cell transfusions during her treatment, and has been cancer-free for four years. “Every year that goes by, is one more year to be thankful to be alive!”

Your unique blood type is especially needed at this time to help hospital patients!

Your blood donation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives patients like Loucinda hope – and one less thing to worry about as they fight their disease.

Volunteer: Spokane Community Court Volunteer Opportunities

The Spokane Municipal Community Court (SMCC) is seeking volunteers for a new case management program. The program is currently still in development and growing day-by-day. With your help, the case management program will allow clients to receive more individualized access to services provided through SMCC. While clients are guided by SMCC staff and service providers throughout their time at court, having case managers building connections with clients on a one-on-one basis will increase the likelihood of clients remaining on track to accomplish their goals.

Each of the aforementioned factors (and more) contribute to clients’ experience with SMCC and we hope that you will consider joining us as the case management program grows and evolves!

We are currently looking to fill the following roles:

Courtroom Navigator: Guide participants as they enter the courtroom and direct them to intake, SMCC Staff, Services etc. as necessary. Case Navigator: Connect with participants at court and help them navigate services and resources at court/throughout the week as needed. Digital Coordinator: Help ensure court files/website are up to date, work with Community Engagement Liaison on community outreach, take Minutes for weekly Staffing meeting, communicate with SMCC Staff/Volunteer team as needed. Community Engagement Liaison: Work with the SMCC Coordinator to maintain connections with partnering organizations in the community, manage outreach and public facing communications (i.e. fliers, social media, etc.). Communicate updates and changes to partnerships with the SMCC Staff/Volunteer Team as needed. Recruitment Liaison: Help maintain and recruit new volunteers for the case management program.

*We are hoping that volunteers will be able to begin serving by mid-June to early July pending COVID-19 safety regulations/guidelines. We thank you for your patience as the situation continues to shift day-to-day. 

If you are interested in joining the case management volunteer program we would love for you to fill out this interest form to let us learn more about you, and we will be in touch with you soon!

Volunteer: Deliver Meals to Seniors at Home with Meals on Wheels GSC

Meals on Wheels Greater Spokane County is calling on compassionate individuals to help deliver meals to homebound seniors in Spokane County.

With growing demand in all areas, especially within the City of Spokane and northern neighborhoods, we urgently need new volunteers to ensure every senior receives the support they deserve. As a volunteer driver, you'll deliver 10 to 14 meals on a route that typically takes just 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. Most volunteers drive one day a week, but if you have limited availability, we welcome substitute drivers who can fill in as needed.

Volunteering with us is about more than delivering meals; it’s about fostering vital social connections that enhance the health and well-being of seniors. Many of our volunteers are retirees eager to give back, college students exploring meaningful community service opportunities, or families who enjoy making memories while spreading joy to seniors. We provide all volunteers with orientation and training. A background check is required. Your small commitment can make a life-changing impact!

If you’re ready to join us, visit www.mowgsc.org to complete our online application, or call 509-418-2181 for more information.

Meals on Wheels Greater Spokane County fights senior hunger and isolation by delivering meals to homebound seniors and operating 13 Silver Café congregate sites across Spokane County.

Training is one 4-hour session per week.

Community programs are typically one 4-hour session per week as well.

We need trainees that can attend training Saturdays from 8:00 am to Noon.

Once trained, we need trainees to help cover community programs on Fridays 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm or Saturdays 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Volunteer: Foster Caregivers

We depend on the kindness, love and homes of our foster parents to help us save hundreds of lives every year.  Members of our foster care program open up their homes for shelter animals.  They care for kittens or puppies until they are old enough for adoption, animals with illnesses and injuries until they are healed, and animals who need socialization or those who are not thriving in the shelter environment.  The time commitment varies upon the needs of the foster pet, but generally is between 2 weeks and 3 months. 

 

Fostering is a flexible, fun and rewarding volunteer experience, and requires a special person- able to invest themselves into the lives of foster pets, and let them go knowing they’ve helped save a life.  We provide all supplies foster parents need, from food and bedding to medication. While it is best to have some knowledge about animal behavior and health, we always try to match foster parents with animals whose needs are within your ability level, and we provide ongoing help and support throughout your foster experience. 

 

If you have your own animals, you’ll want to consider how they will adjust to having a foster pet. Some animals do very well with a temporary friend and can help socialize the foster animal. Other pets have a harder time with new animals being added to or leaving the family. You’re the best judge of your pet’s personality.  For the safety of your pets and the foster animal, it’s important to keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations. In many cases, the foster pet will need to be isolated from your own pets, either temporarily or throughout the foster period.

Volunteer: Do You Have a Passion for Senior Rights? Become a Long-Term Care Ombudsman!

 

The Washington State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is an essential link in our long-term care system that protects and promotes the Resident Rights guaranteed to long-term care residents under federal and state law and regulations. We are currently looking for volunteers who would be interested in serving as advocates for residents in nursing homes, adult family homes, and assisted living facilities that protect their rights and quality of life in these spaces on the ground.

 

Residents of long-term care facilities sometimes have little or no contact with the outside world. Many feel they lack control over their lives. A friendly volunteer who visits regularly can be a bright spot in an elderly resident's day. Many residents are alone and would be very happy to have your visits. This may also help ensure they get good care if someone from the community is looking in on them regularly.

 

Each volunteer in Washington State’s volunteer-based Ombudsman Program spends 4+ hours a week in nursing homes, adult family homes, or assisted living facilities working to resolve complaints while advocating for residents. Volunteers serve as advocates on the ground to help preserve the quality of life for residents in the region.  

 

We are looking for volunteers that:

Are 18+ years-old Have reliable transportation Have compassion, respect for older persons, and common sense Have a positive attitude and can communicate effectively

 

You will develop skills in:

Communication Listening Relationship Building Confidentiality Complaint Resolution Resident’s Rights

 

If this sounds like an opportunity you would enjoy, we invite you to apply!

Volunteer: SAN Pantry Food Collection

SAN provides a weekly food pantry for our immunocompromised clients, people living with HIV & AIDS.  On a weekly average, we server about 50 clients.  We established this program last year after a hiatus and have not been able to get connected with 2nd Harvest due to the current crisis.  We work with 2 local non-profits to source food items, but they are even having a hard time getting enough food for their own clients, let alone helping us.  

At this time, we really always need additional volunteers and access to foods, especially those rich in protein like eggs, chicken breast, oats, milk, greek yogurt, beans, peanut butter, and fresh fruit and vegetables.  

SAN does have a large chest freezer and access to multiple refrigerators and enough storage to be able to store items.  

If interested and able to donate food items, please let us know.  We are able to take donations at our location with advanced notice since we are not always at the office.  Please reach out via email- volunteer@san-nw.org
