The Family Approach To Philanthropy
In 2019, Spark Global Philanthropy Canada will introduce its Junior
program, a creative initiative aimed to inspire children aged 7 to 14 to
become involved in philanthropy. Spark is committed to engage, empower,
and educate children on the important and rewarding aspects of giving.
This is a program for children and their families to learn the activities that
will encourage a generous spirit in the next generation. Philanthropy in all
its aspects, is a wonderful way for parents to share their values with their
children while making a meaningful contribution in their local and global
communities.
In the Spark Junior Program, a small group of driven students will have the
unprecedented opportunity to learn, engage and participate in
philanthropy.
Participants will also complete a Philanthropy Project, an activity designed
to teach strategic and socially responsible investing that will create a
lasting beneficial impact on society. Students will learn to identify their
personal philanthropic goals and how those goals can best be achieved.
They will then receive an allocation of charitable dollars to be responsibly
invested in their community.
This program will pave the way for students to transition into the senior
Spark program, inspiring them to become future leaders and innovators,
equipped with the skills to purposefully and productively contribute to
society.
Spark Junior is today’s investment in tomorrow’s leaders.
