Join Us in Making an Impact: Board and Committee Opportunities at GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago 

At GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago, our mission is to change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance for all. We do this through free educational, therapeutic, and career development programs that empower individuals with Down syndrome to achieve their greatest potential. 

To sustain and grow this mission, we rely on a dedicated team of Board and Committee Members who bring their talents, energy, and passion to our Playhouse. Right now, we are seeking new members to join us in four key areas: Programs, Outreach, Fundraising, and Communications. 

Programs: Expanding Life-Changing Services 

Our programs help participants of all ages thrive. We are seeking individuals with experience in program development, education, special needs support, or community services to help us expand and enhance our offerings. Your insight can ensure that our programs remain innovative, accessible, and impactful for every participant and family we serve. 

Outreach: Building Stronger Connections 

GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago is a powerful resource for families, but to continue growing, we need to connect with more people. We are looking for individuals passionate about advocacy, networking, and community-building to strengthen relationships with schools, organizations, and local leaders. Your efforts will amplify our mission and extend our reach across Chicago and beyond. 

Fundraising: Fueling the Mission 

All GiGi’s Playhouse programs are offered completely free of charge. That’s why fundraising is essential to our work. We are searching for energetic individuals with experience in fundraising campaigns, donor relations, sponsorships, or event planning. Your leadership and creativity can directly support free programs while ensuring long-term sustainability. 

Communications: Sharing the Story 

The heart of GiGi’s Playhouse is found in the stories of our participants and their families. We are seeking individuals with skills in marketing, PR, digital media, or branding to help us craft and share these stories. By shaping our message and raising awareness, you will help us celebrate achievements, spread positivity, and build acceptance for all. 

Get Involved 

Joining the Board or a Committee at GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago is more than a volunteer role—it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact on countless lives. Whether your strengths lie in program development, outreach, fundraising, or communications, there’s a place for you on our team.
