Our Station Volunteers make Spark Central run! Our library and creativity center is run by volunteers. We work with volunteers to set a 2 - 3 hour scheduled shift. During a volunteer station shift, they manage circulation in our small library, checking materials, computers, and technology kits in and out to patrons.
Station Volunteers also help catalyze creative projects and learning with our patrons--teaching someone to use their first email account, finding the right kind of book for a project, assist with a craft project or building their first Lego robot!
They are the first contact with the public, so we love having Station Volunteers as interested in our mission and as excited to tell people about it as we are!

Mission Statement
Igniting the creativity, innovation, and imagination necessary for people to forge the path to their best future.
Description
Welcome aboard!
Spark Central is a creative learning center where people of all ages can access our high-speed Internet (1,000 Mbps), technology, rich and imaginative programming, and curated book and media collection. Building on the West Central neighborhood's rail yard roots, Spark Central is at the junction between where people are, and where they want to go. We offer resources, connection, support, and learning to those who need it most on their journey to a better future.
We foster creativity for adults, teens, and kids by providing learning experiences that explore the unlikely intersections between subjects, such as poetry and science or coding and character creation. Such experiences stretch the imagination, are the root of innovation, and develop the ability to problem-solve and think critically-skills essential to success in the Information Age, where the jobs of tomorrow haven’t been created yet. From learning to code to learning to write a story, we offer community members a one-way ticket to discovering their passion, building new skills, and growing the confidence needed for wherever they want to go.
Thanks to many generous donors, we are able to offer access to our resources and many of our programs at no charge and keep adult workshops affordable. Kids programs are always available at no cost because we believe that all children, regardless of income, deserve the chance to be imaginative, to play, and to find their inner genius.
