WHO WE ARE
Suncoast STARS Community is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to provide a work, enrichment, and educational community where adults with developmental disabilities and other special needs are empowered to live full, productive, and satisfying lives in a God-centered and nurturing environment. Visit us at www.suncoaststars.org.
WHAT WE DO
Once high school ends, adults with Down Syndrome, Autism and other special needs often face a future of isolation, boredom, and
depression. We believe every person, regardless of ability, is created by God with purpose and dignity and deserves the opportunity
to develop their talents and enjoy full lives. We refer to the folks we serve as STARS Specially Talented Adults Raising Standards. At
Suncoast STARS Community we offer a robust enrichment program including classes in fitness and nutrition, book club, improv, Bible
study, sports talk, and much more. We are also developing our own specially modified business enterprises where we slow down the
pace, make modifications, and provide staff and volunteer support so our STARS can be successful. Our first enterprise is a greeting
card studio. Our goal is to engage our STARS physically, cognitively, emotionally, and spiritually the whole person.
