HOW DOES IT WORK?

At its core, Sparked is a task distribution and collaboration platform, which enables Requesters to post and route "Challenges" to Solvers. Challenges are small activities or projects that can be completed collaboratively and entirely online. When a user logs into Sparked, our challenge-matching engine recommends a series of challenges based on the person's skills and interests profile. We use this same engine to select and email a "Weekly Challenge" to your users. While Sparked has its roots in online volunteerism (Requesters being nonprofits and Solvers being volunteers), the platform can and has been private-labeled and used for multiple purposes centering on online engagement. Contact us to learn more.
