We are always on the lookout for new volunteers to help us out so if you would like to join our team keep reading.
You must be over the age of 18 to Volunteer with us. After we receive your application, we will contact you and arrange an interview in person or by phone with our Spark Coordinator. All information collected will be kept confidential and will help us find the right place for you within Spark.
As a volunteer of Spark Community Space, you must agree to abide by all policies and procedures detailed in the volunteer handbook. You shall understand that you volunteer at your own risk and agree that all work you do is on a volunteer basis and that you are not eligible to receive any monetary payment.
