This Year We Sparked a Change Golden Key’s SPARK a Change initiative aims to impact and improve the lives of atrisk youth (ages 0-17) through literacy, education and real-world preparedness.

The goal? To impact 400,000 lives by raising 40,000 dollars and by participating in 400,000 hours of service by 2017. Our UM Chapter has been involved in various SPARK a Change initiatives this year and we are happy to contribute to a great service cause. Our Chapter’s initiatives included participation in Global Youth Service Day, Martin Luther King Day of Service at Brownsville Middle School, the Butler Center’s Funday, a Ronald McDonald House service visit, and a book drive to benefit Ludlam Elementary School.

Let’s Keep in Touch! As Honorary Members of the UM Chapter, you are cordially invited to participate in all of our GK events!
