She had participated in a volunteer orientation for a group of nursing students. Zo\u00eb immediately stood out because she immediately decided to take the literacy tutor class the following weekend \u2026 we are talking about a four-hour class and started tutoring literacy. In addition to having a literacy student, we could count on Zo\u00eb to come to every volunteer opportunity or if we needed someone short notice. She also became a regular volunteer for helping with SMART and TeenTastic! Zo\u00eb is amazing and was amazing in helping a child diagnosed with Down syndrome and autism. We are so grateful to have Zo\u00eb at the Playhouse. She truly became an integral part at GiGi\u2019s, loved by other volunteers and all participants!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned about GiGi&#8217;s when we were given the opportunity to do a practicum this past spring semester through the Child Life Master\u2019s Program at Edgewood College. I loved volunteering through the practicum\u00a0so much, that I decided I wanted to continue with this wonderful organization. I enjoy volunteering in multiple programs at GiGi&#8217;s. Every participant ranging from\u00a0toddlers to older adults seem to always be engaged and having fun as well as appearing to\u00a0genuinely love being at the clubhouse. I have never left GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse without feeling inspired and am\u00a0always\u00a0ready to come back. Both Julia and Judy have been such great role models and have taught me so much during the short time I have been involved. I feel so lucky to be able to volunteer at GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse and to have had the opportunity to get to know and work\u00a0with\u00a0such wonderful people.&#8221; (Zo\u00eb)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/madison\/files\/2018\/06\/Zoe-and-Anna.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-128250\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/madison\/files\/2018\/06\/Zoe-and-Anna-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/madison\/files\/2018\/06\/Zoe-and-Anna-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/madison\/files\/2018\/06\/Zoe-and-Anna.jpg 691w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Zo\u00eb\u00a0 Zo\u00eb came to us via the Edgewood College Graduate Child Life Program.
