The STAR Association offers a variety of Specialized Exercise Programs that provide modifications and adaptations for participants with a variety of disorders and diseases.
STAR has a need for 1:1 mentors for participants who need extra assistance during programs. Volunteers will assist with set up and clean up of the program. No prior experience with adaptive physical activity is required. We will train you.
Individuals must reach out to the STAR Center at info@starcenterlacrosse.org or 608-797-6295 to begin volunteering.
Volunteers must SIGN UP on SIGNUP Genius (found on website) and must complete Orientation Training and Quiz before volunteering. You must complete the waivers for volunteers as well.
