Creative Engagement Programs
Free memory loss programs for families in Green Bay, WI
Find your SPARK!
The National Railroad Museum is proud to bring SPARK! to our community – a creative engagement program for people with early-to-mid-stage memory loss and their care partners. We partner with the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Brown County and local organizations including Casa ALBA Melanie, the Mulva Cultural Center, and the Neville Public Museum to offer these programs on a rotating basis throughout the region.
What is SPARK!?
SPARK! programs welcome care partners to stay actively engaged in their communities while joining peers to experience art, culture, and nature in a comfortable, welcoming environment led by specially trained staff and volunteers.
SPARK! isn’t an acronym – it’s what happens between care partners when they share a stimulating, engaging experience. It’s about SPARKing a moment, living fully in the present.

Program Details
SPARK! Programs are FREE. Pre-registration is required, and group sizes are limited.
Each 60-minute session is designed to keep participants actively engaged in their communities through experiences that spark conversation, provide peer support, and inspire creativity – from art-making and music to storytelling and hands-on workshops. All SPARK! facilitators are trained by Alzheimer’s professionals and work with community partners to continually improve programming.
Who is SPARK! for?
SPARK! is for families and at-home care partners supporting a loved one with early to mid-stage dementia. Programs are free for families to attend together.
