The STAR Association offers multiple adaptive recreation, para sports, and specialized exercise activities for a variety of individuals with disabilities or impairment to physical activity. STAR has a need for mentors for our athletes, help running drills, and assistance in preparing and storing equipment for sessions. Volunteers will participate in the activities. No prior experience with adaptive sports, specialized exercise, or working with individuals with disabilities. We will train you.
Programs run at Central High School on Sunday's and at the STAR Center (1011 La Crosse St) on the weekdays.
Individuals must reach out to the STAR Center at info@starcenterlacrosse.org or 608-797-6295 to begin volunteering.
Volunteers must SIGN UP on our Volunteer Form (found on website) and must complete Orientation Training and Quiz before volunteering.
This is an excellent experience for students or community members interested in Adaptive Physical Education, Therapeutic Recreation, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Special Education, and Sports Science. University students are not expected to volunteer during midterms and finals- we are able to work with your schedule.
