Help Us Keep the Spark Alive
Your donation provides books, STEM supplies, and mailed packages that bring SPARKS to life for students across Montgomery County.
Every dollar reaches a student
SPARKS is powered entirely by volunteers, with no salaries and no overhead. Your gift goes straight to the students.
Every donation funds books, STEM & art supplies, and the package we mail to each student before every session.
Our founders, student leaders, and educators all give their time for free, so your giving has the greatest possible impact.
For now, email us and we'll arrange your gift; it takes just one message. SPARKS Book Club is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so every donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Where Your Money Goes
We're a lean, volunteer-run program. Each session costs about $300, and every dollar goes directly to students.
Books
Every student receives their own copy of our current read to keep. We choose titles featuring diverse characters, brave protagonists, and stories that open new worlds.
STEM & Craft Supplies
Coding kits, art supplies, science materials, seeds for herb gardens: the hands-on project materials that make every session come alive and connect books to the real world.
Mailed Packages
We ship everything directly to each student before every session: books, supplies, and materials. The postage alone is part of what makes SPARKS magical. Opening the box is half the fun.
When she started she seemed very shy on the zoom. She did not want to unmute and talk for the first several meetings. Eventually, she opened up and by the last one, she wouldn't stay muted. She loved each book that she read - she enjoys reading, but also enjoys rereading books she's already read instead of branching out for new books. This club helped her start branching out. Thank you :)
