In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, MedShare has focused their efforts on delivering high-quality, surplus medical supplies to health care professionals on the front lines. We love seeing this organization's impact, and are thrilled to help support their efforts!

The final pillar of Spark Corps is thought leadership. In our incubation program, we focus on thought leadership. Our goal is that with each partnership and project, we communicate about the thinking that guides our decision making. This allows us to be transparent about our consulting while helping others understand the "why" of our recommendations.

Our third guiding principle in Spark Corps is empowerment. Each individual within our social capital ecosystem is given the power to speak up, take initiative, and openly create solutions to complex problems. We are amazed at what people are capable of when they feel empowered!

We are thrilled to announce our newest apprentice — Sophie Becker! Sophie joins us from the American West, where she was born in Montana and raised in Oregon. She recently graduated from RIT with a BFA in Industrial Design, and is intent on pursuing design strategy and research for health and social issues. Outside of work, Sophie loves to get out in nature through hiking, snowboarding, and cycling. She also loves reading and art. Please welcome her with us!

In our partnership with we learned about the ways they are dedicated to improving the quality of life of people, communities and our planet by sourcing and directly delivering surplus medical supplies and equipment to communities in need around the world. We believe in their mission, and look forward to supporting them in the future!

At Spark Corps, one of our pillars is empathy. We also believe in providing inclusive services to all social impact groups, regardless of social, religious, and economic identifiers. What is most important to us is serving our community to the best of our abilities and partnering with organizations and groups that want to do the same.

Last month, we partnered with
( facebook.com/MedShareMission )to make critical updates to some of their program assets. Landing on a strategy, we redesigned a brochure to highlight key data that their team can now use to help gain new partnerships and volunteers. Thank you for partnering with us!

An important pillar of Spark Corps' foundation is education. When we think of education, we think not only of what we can teach others, but what we need to learn as well. Never stop learning!

is our internal initiative to teach design thinking skills to the next generation. With summer coming to a close, and online/distance learning still being the safest way to gather - we want to share our online store where you can access the Flashlight workbook and lessons! The "Spark Your Design Creativity" activity book is a tool that introduces kids to design while also helping them to build fundamental social skills. The book and lessons walk kids through 16 engaging activities, from drawing to developing skills in observation. Visit the link in our bio to start learning!
