STAR Volunteer Program

Support. Thrive. Act. Rise.

The STAR Volunteer Program connects community members of all ages and backgrounds with opportunities to support the growth and vitality of Downtown Denison. Whether you have a few hours to give or want to be involved year-round, there is a place for you.

By joining, you’ll be part of a network of neighbors, families, and friends working together to make Downtown the best it can be. Volunteers can choose from a variety of roles, from helping at events, to serving as community ambassadors, to lending a hand behind the scenes, and more.

Getting started is simple: just complete the Volunteer Form, and our staff will be in touch with next steps!

Benefits

You will become part of a team of people dedicated to the revitalization of Downtown Denison. Throughout the year, this team will welcome guests and serve as a Downtown ambassador; assist with event set up, tear down, or logistics; share your creativity through marketing, photography, or design; help with planning, committees, or office support; lend a hand in community clean up and beautification efforts; build relationships with business owners, neighbors, and city partners; and be a key feature in shaping the future of Downtown Denison!

Regardless of your skills, abilities, or time, we can use your help and you can be assured that the work you do is valuable, needed, and truly appreciated. Youth volunteers can highlight their service on job and college applications, while adults are encouraged to serve on committees or pitch in as-needed. As a bonus, every hour you serve earns you points toward fun rewards and prizes, and outstanding volunteers are recognized each year at our Downtown Awards ceremony. 

Volunteerism with Denison Main Street is an opportunity to make new friends, reconnect with old ones, and have plenty of fun - all while making a real, positive difference in Downtown Denison.

Main Street Approach

Denison Main Street thrives because of volunteers like you. With only a small staff, our impact is limited, but when community members step in, the possibilities grow endlessly.

Our work follows the nationally recognized Main Street Approach, a framework that helps us (and communities across the country) stay focused and effective. Its four core areas are:

  • Design
  • Economic Vitality
  • Organization
  • Promotion

These broad focus areas create countless ways to get involved, whether you enjoy planning events, working with people, or helping behind the scenes.

Not sure where you would fit in? We would love to talk with you one on one and help match your strengths and interests with the perfect opportunity!
