Technology shouldn't be a barrier to what you need. Four community programs, at no cost to take part, open to the people they're built for.
SmallSpark is a nonprofit technology organization.
Whatever an organization needs from technology — support, security, infrastructure, cloud, planning, or leadership — we're built for it. For organizations of any size or sector, as their entire IT function or alongside the team they already have.
We also run four community programs, at no cost to take part, for young people entering the workforce, Seniors, veterans, and people experiencing homelessness. We deliver them in person, in partnership with the organizations already serving those communities, built around what that community actually needs.
Programs currently run in-person across Colorado & Maryland; remotely nationwide.
Practical technology learning, confidence, and career pathways
Hands-on, age-appropriate technology learning for young people and emerging adults ages 13–24—from foundational skills and confidence to practical IT experience, mentorship, and career readiness.
Workshops, cohort programs, mentorship, practical projects, and career preparation are designed around each group's experience, interests, and goals.
About SparkLab — Technology skills that grow into opportunityPatient technology help where Seniors already live
Seniors, including residents of assisted living, independent living, and senior communities. Family members are welcome to come along and sit in.
Workshops cover online safety, video calling, passwords, and making devices easier to see and use. Sessions are small, unhurried, and built around the questions people actually bring.
About SparkAssist — Technology help for SeniorsRecords, documents, and technology help for Veterans
Veterans at any stage — recently separated, or decades out. We help find, organize, and safely store the documents the VA asks for, then make sure you can reach them again.
We partner with Veterans and veteran-serving organizations who know the system from the inside. One-to-one help, in person or remotely, with records, accounts, devices, and whatever else has piled up.
