Day Support Activities
Where Care Meets Community
North Star Oregon's day support activities are designed to provide enriching experiences fostering personal growth and community integration. Whether it's striking pins at the local bowling alley, taking serene walks through the verdant landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, or enjoying outings to the local art studio in Corvallis, Oregon, our activities are curated to stimulate both body and mind. Participants can explore painting, crafting, and various arts that encourage creativity and self-expression.
We emphasize volunteering opportunities where participants contribute to their communities, whether it's lending a hand at the Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center, local food banks, participating in environmental cleanup efforts, or assisting at animal shelters. These experiences create a sense of achievement and belonging.
Day Support Activities: Nurturing Community Engagement & Communication
- Community resource utilization
- Self-awareness and self-control
- Verbal and non-verbal communication skills
- Social interaction navigation
- Safe situation recognition
- Device and reference coordination (phones, watches, computers, signs)
Our program focuses on initiating and concluding social interactions smoothly, recognizing and avoiding potentially unsafe situations, and understanding concepts like "stranger danger." Each participant has personalized, measurable goals outlined in their Individual Support Plan (ISP).
We help individuals forge and strengthen personal relationships and share their unique interests, culture, talents, and gifts with others. Our programs support active participation in clubs, associations, and organizations, including roles in leadership and decision-making. We encourage the independence to initiate, plan, and partake in community activities.
DSA Calendars
We meticulously plan our activities and release a new calendar every month. Our groups gather from 10 AM to 3 PM Monday through Friday and meet at a centralized meeting spot before heading out for the day's activities.
Some transportation can be provided depending on the availability of drivers and proximity of pickup and drop-off locations. Attendance frequency is flexible based on individual needs and availability.
If our groups are currently full, we can add your name to our waitlist. Your input is valuable to us, and we welcome any suggestions for future activities!
