GiGi's Playhouse

GiGi’s provides free educational, therapeutic-based and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome of all ages, their families, and the community. Its goal? To change the way the world views Down syndrome and send a global message of ACCEPTANCE FOR ALL. Volunteers for GiGi's Playhouse have unique, high-impact opportunities to work directly with participants and their families. You will walk out of the playhouse a kinder, more accepting, community-minded individual! GiGi’s Playhouse was started by a mom, Nancy Gianni, who made a promise to her infant daughter GiGi: “I made a promise to her that I would change the way the world looked at a person with Down syndrome; that I would help people understand that her and all of her friends were so much more than a diagnosis.” That promise has led to the opening of over 60 Playhouses Locations around the country and reaching thousands more around the world through virtual programming. GiGi’s has programs for infants through adults, as well as math and literacy tutoring. Individuals with a variety of disABILITIES attend our free FUN programs. Everyone is welcome at GiGi’s Playhouse!
