Supporting our Mission
Meadowlark Spark is a non-profit organization that gives kids the opportunity to express themselves through songwriting and making music. Combining literacy initiatives and music fundamentals with self- expression and social emotional learning, we create songs in small and large groups in schools and in community settings. Our goal is to spark creative inspiration in each student and to build community as we create together.
