PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD

Our mission is to not only empower and inspire leaders, but to invest in future leaders. Each of the Spark Change Initiative Scholarship Recipients were selected because of their commitment to their own personal growth and their servant hearts to inspire and invest in others.

One of our recipients will be awarded with the People's Choice Award, which will be determined by the most number of votes. Every $1.00 you donate equals 1 vote. The finalist with the most votes will receive 50% of the total funds raised and the other 50% will go toward next year's scholarship. (The VOTING WINDOW is between June 1st - June 30th. Any votes outside that window will not be counted.)

Meet Our Incredible Recipients...

Lauren Wallace

Confidence and Public Speaking Coaching Sessions

Lauren is a dedicated advocate for adoption and foster care awareness and is so excited to use the funds from the Spark Change Initiative Scholarship to invest in her public speaking and communication skills and confidence.

"Learning to be a better communicator will help me in all walks of life, especially as someone who strives to be a leader in my school and my community. By improving my public speaking skills, I will be able to better advocate for my platform and the organizations that I work with."

What does SPARK CHANGE mean to Lauren?

"It only takes a spark to get a fire burning! When one person has a passion for something, they can share with others and coming together, we can make a bigger difference in the world."

Makena Phillips

Makena is so excited to use the funds from the Spark Change Initiative Scholarship to invest in both her love for art AND science. When applying she was so encouraged when she didn't have to choose one over the other, but that the GLOW Getter Foundation was designed to empower her to do both!

"Getting to participate in both of these programs will allow me to combine both my creative and innovative thinking to serve my community. I like to volunteer and by sharing my experiences I hope to inspire other girls to explore all the incredible things that interests them."

What does SPARK CHANGE mean to Makena?

"Everything you do needs a spark to begin with, whether that is a creative spark, an inspirational spark, or an innovative spark. With songwriting and STEM, I hope to help fuel not only my spark, but help others to grow their spark too."

What does SPARK CHANGE mean to Michael?

"Spark change is how someone can change the world. Everyone is born with different gifts and talents and abilities. If we recognize them early enough, they have they true opportunity to change the world."
