Stamford Y Monster Dash 5K & 1 Mile Family Fun Run

Race Information
The Monster Dash 5k and 1 Mile Family Fun Run is an exciting fundraising run and event, now in its second year; raising money to provide financial assistance to families who are not able to afford after school care for their children.
The race is on Saturday, October 26, 2019. The race has something for everyone. A flat fast course through Downtown Stamford, starting in Columbus Park, two loops around Scalzi Park, and finishing at the Y. It’s a fun, costumed event with judging for best costumes! There’s a 1mile fun run for children and families. A great Halloween post-race party, with festive music and Halloween games and great food.
The Y’s afterschool program, Leadership, Enrichment, Acceptance and Development (LEAD), offers children academic enrichment, homework support, swim lessons, nutrition, fitness, mentoring and college preparation and job skills for children in grades K through 12. The Stamford Y relies on the support from donors to ensure our after school program operations are sustained and families from low-income households are given the opportunity for their children to thrive.

Summer Intern Corner 2019

My name is Diana and I am a recent graduate of Stamford High School interning at the DSSD through the Mayor's Youth Employment Program. 
I am an incoming freshman at the University of Connecticut at Storrs in the School of Business. Being a business student, this internship was a great experience as I got to see first-hand everything (big and small) that goes into creating, planning, and promoting an event or product. I had the opportunity to do projects with multiple people in the office that all play different roles and have different responsibilities at the DSSD. So, I got a better understanding of how important communication is in an environment like this where all the smaller pieces have to fit together perfectly in order for the greater goal to be achieved. I had to make lots of phone calls which definitely improved my communication skills and I became more confident with every call. I also improved my written communication skills as I had to record survey data from events like ArtWalk and the Movie Nights at the park; and email with not only my co-workers, but with business managers all over downtown. Working people are very busy, so I had to make sure I gave information as clearly and as efficiently as possible. 
Finally, with a summer whose weather has not been very forgiving, I got to see the troubleshooting process while making difficult decisions about the summer concert series Wednesday Night Live and Alive @ Five. 
The DSSD office is a very welcoming and exciting place to be and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work here this summer before I enter the next chapter of my life as a college student. #stamforddowntown

Quick facts about the Plastic Bag ordinance....

City of Stamford Plastic Bag Ban

Ban goes into effect May 3rd, 2019

Quick Facts

• This ordinance will go into effect on May 3rd, 2019.
• If you see a business distrubiting disposable plastic bags, you may report them to FixIt Stamford.
