Our charity work / Dream Spark
Everyone deserves the chance to dream.
Dream Spark was founded by Melina “Mellu” Näätänen, Rokmind’s founder, owner and CEO. Years of charity work grew into a lasting community that creates opportunities for children and young people.
Today, we work with a wide network of professionals, volunteers and partners. Together, we give young people space to try new things, make friends and discover their strengths.

Why we do this
Professional expertise. A caring heart.
At Rokmind, we help people recognise their strengths and take their next steps. The same belief shapes Dream Spark: every young person deserves the chance to try, to be heard and to find a sense of belonging.
Dream Spark is a free sports and adventure camp for children and young people whose family finances may otherwise put hobbies or a camp experience out of reach. Dozens of volunteers and our partners’ professionals work together throughout the year. At camp, their expertise means safe guidance and a warm welcome.

Christmas gifts that open up possibilities.
We have given our client Christmas gifts a shared purpose. The money set aside for them goes to Dream Spark: to welcoming young people, encouraging them to try and helping them experience success together. As our client, you help make this possible.
Last Christmas’s gift budget helped make the summer 2026 camp happen. This Christmas, we are once again directing our client gift budget to the seventh Dream Spark camp, booked for 26–28 July 2027 at the Kisakallio campus in Lohja. Thank you for being part of this story.
Together towards next summer
Join us in making a difference.
You can help spark a dream, too. A donation, your expertise, equipment or a shared activity can help a young person take part. Let’s find a way for you to contribute.
