Want to Spark Wonder?
Volunteer with Bright Sparks Play Lab
Play. Learn. Make a (fun) mess. Help toddlers explore science through fizz, bubbles, and giggles while you grow skills, clock hours, and make real impact.
Why join the Spark Crew? ⚡
🧪 It’s OT-led: spills = science, squabbles = emotional regulation, rebuilds = problem-solving.
💖 Make an impact: support families, build community, spark curiosity.
⚡ Grow your skills: leadership, communication, co-regulation, behavior guidance.
🌈 Stand out: verified hours, rec letters, and a community that actually cheers you on.
✨ Fun factor: messy hands, happy hearts, and a little glitter stuck to your shoes.
Who can volunteer?
College & Graduate Students: OT-verified hours, practicum experience, résumé boost.
High School Students: community service + leadership (NHS, Scouts, clubs etc).
Middle School Students: take on fun responsibilities, get some good stories, + share your spark ✨
Parents, Professionals & Retirees: joyful, meaningful roles that make a big difference for families with little ones 🌈
