More than 200 people volunteer their time weekly or participate in a number of one-day activities the Board sponsors including Special Olympics and field trips. Stark DD requires volunteers to go through an application process, which includes a thorough background check and personal references. It may seem difficult to become a volunteer with Stark DD, but we want the very best for the individuals we serve, including the very best in volunteers.

Stark DD participates in many community programs, including the annual Football Hall of Fame parade. Another way that Stark DD works at removing attitudinal barriers is by sponsoring a variety of community special events each year. We assist the individuals we serve in becoming active in our community alongside their typical peers. Some of the yearly events we sponsor include The Great Pumpkin Run/Walk, Camp Jukebox Summer Camp with VSA Arts Stark County; and many other community events in partnership with the The Repository. Community events are important activities to the individuals served by Stark DD as they provide a direct connection to the community in which they live, work, and play. |
