Creating Uplifting Places to Live and Play
Welcome! You're in the right place.
Urban Sparks exists to help you start your community project! Starting from scratch can be daunting — instead, start with us. We share resources, tips, inspirational stories and the experience of many who have succeeded.
Others' experiences and resources can speed you on your way.
Look for project profiles, useful links and resources, and how-to pages. Soon you'll know where to begin. If you're ready now, we can be your fiscal agent.
Our photo gallery is an invaluable resource with organized photos of parks and details that can help you imagine how your project might look.
Volunteers of all types find deep satisfaction.
Whatever your skills or passion, it feels good to give to your community. Read our volunteer profiles to get a taste.
