Spark has been inspiring a movement of good through the power of volunteerism for 30 years!
As a nonprofit dedicated to sparking meaningful change across the state, we connect passionate volunteers with opportunities to make a real impact and strengthen our local communities. Volunteerism is at the root of all we do in our journey to building a stronger, more resilient, equitable and connected Colorado.
Formerly Spark the Change Colorado, we merged with Project Helping in March of 2025, bringing all our programming under their umbrella.* Both Spark and Project Helping share a deep commitment to improving mental wellness through meaningful volunteer service. By combining resources, expertise, and networks, we can expand opportunities for volunteers, providing greater support to our nonprofit partners and an even stronger impact on communities across Colorado and beyond.
We invite you to celebrate 30 years of service by making a gift that will fuel our mission for decades to come! Together, we can continue to spark change and build a brighter future for Colorado.

*Spark operates as a subsidiary of Project Helping, therefore we maintain our independent EIN and 501(c)(3) status.
We spark change and inspire a movement of good through the power of volunteerism, service and civic engagement.
Spark the Change Colorado, formerly Metro Volunteers, was formed in 1994 as the result of a merger between the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and the Volunteer Center, a program of the Mile High United Way (MHUW). Between 1994 and 2003, the organization operated programs that fulfilled a two-fold mission statement to build the effectiveness of nonprofits (from TAC) and connect people with volunteer opportunities (from the Volunteer Center).
In 2018 as we expanded beyond the Metro-Denver area, Metro Volunteers became Spark the Change Colorado. We wanted a name that encompassed the entire state of Colorado and the action of the changemakers who volunteer here!
Spark the Change Colorado currently provides direct service programs that impact mental health access, food access, and senior services. We also provide training & support in Volunteer Recruitment & Engagement, Board Leadership & Service, Skilled Volunteering, and Group/Corporate Volunteering.
