Today on Children's Grief Awareness Day, we wish to share valuable resources and important bereavement support organizations, both locally and nationwide. While children are resilient, they are not resilient alone, and they deserve compassion and support through any types of loss. View our recent newsletter here: https://conta.cc/3V2IVrr

Our mission is to build a kinder world together - where no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported, or unconnected.
关于我们
Every time we do something that helps a community grow more kind, resilient and welcoming, we SPARK Kindness. Together we can make sure no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported, or unconnected—every day and especially in the most challenging times. Launched to counter cyberbullying in 2010, SPARK Kindness has grown into a nonprofit convener, educator, resource, and friend—and the biggest fan of our community's shared strengths. SPARK Kindness hosts educational speaker events, parenting groups and community service activities to promote connection, and offer support whenever needed. All SPARK programs and resources are FREE thanks to dedicated volunteers, donors, business and philanthropic sponsors, and friends. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, many people were suffering. So many of us felt alone, dealing with bullying, mental health challenges, substance use disorder, and more. More than ever, it’s clear: We need each other. Community helps us survive. To make our way through this moment—and thrive beyond it, as individuals and as a society—we must prioritize and nurture the well being of each child and person in our midst. We must deepen community resilience. We must bridge our gaps, share strengths, and help each other. But how? A unique, grassroots force in the national kindness movement, with a model for promoting positive change that is proactive, strengths and community-based, SPARK Kindness ventures into vulnerable, emotional issues to cultivate skills for caring and equity. We work with schools, parents, and civic institutions. Our “wrap around” programs and resources better equip individuals and communities to create lasting interdependence and connection.

Huge thank you to the team at Minds On Design Lab Inc (MOD-Lab) for creating a fresh and exciting look that helped incorporate all aspects of the meaning behind the Spark!
Supporting small & mighty teams in the social sector with creative strategy and web, print, and brand design.
Our task for the redesign of the SPARK Kindness logo was to give them a new logo that is easy to read, works well across various media and formats, and reflects the quality of their excellent work. They wanted to maintain what they liked about their old logo, which conveyed feelings of community, inclusivity, warmth, empowered neutrality, and the spark as a symbol of being active in kindness. The following showcases the chosen logo and event promotion templates created as part of the brand rollout. The feedback they have received from their community has been wonderful. “Congrats on the new logo! Each time I open an email and see the logo it feels just right. Energetic, positive, friendly, professional and casual at the same time and most importantly hopeful. Congrats!” “I love the new logo and can’t wait to see the amazing things Spark Kindness does in the coming years!!” “I love the new logo! The SPARK is everything!“ “Love this! Nice work:)” #branding #logo #nonprofit #design #visualidentity #logodesign #branddesign #marketing #outreach #socialgood #socialimpact #designstudio #nonprofit #brandidentity
