Making dreams come true thanks to friends like you!!!

Hosting National Volunteer Orientation through GiGi’s At Home started as a way for the national office to assist our network of Playhouses across the country throughout COVID, but it has turned into so much more. Being able to connect with these selfless individuals who are motivated to get involved to support the mission of GiGi’s Playhouse has been truly inspiring for all involved. As an organization, we can not provide the thousands of programming hours without our dedicated and talented volunteers. The GiGi’s At Home, Virtual Playhouse trainings are here to stay and we are thrilled to help connect amazing people with a volunteer job that will for sure change their life!

No matter your location or your available hours, GiGi’s is the place for you to invest your time and talents.

Join us virtually through GiGi’s At Home! This exciting opportunity will give you the ability to meeting amazing people from all over the world!

You can also choose to volunteer in person at the National Office or the Hoffman Estates Playhouse!

Showcasing how we can all be friends even when we are different, Lilly and the Pink Leprechaun is a sweet story of friendship that we know you will enjoy.

We are so thankful to have the support of author Jim Boland and Illustrator Rich Flatley. Rich has a grand daughter who has attended the Hoffman location since she was born. GiGi’s has been like a second home to his family and he wants to spread the word about GiGi’s to the world!

Proceeds from each book are being donated back to GiGi’s Playhouse to support FREE programs offered at GiGi’s Playhouse Hoffman Estates.

At GiGi’s Playhouse, we never stop building and developing tools to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and the communities they live in. Through incredible partnerships we continue to move forward, our gratitude is overflowing.

Special thanks to Voya Cares Foundation for their incredible gift of $50,000 that supports our FREE one-on-one Math Tutoring Program Nationally. With these funds, we will continue to design and develop lesson plans to go along with progressions of the program for each participant to integrate STEM into learning and to increase financial literacy in our learners.

We are also hard at work building and piloting lessons for our GiGi’s Kitchen Kids program that will be launched nationally in the coming months. We could not do this work without the generous support of an anonymous donor! These grants are creating opportunities for confidence, skill-building, and achievement!

From our large grantors to our monthly donors, no gift is too small. Every gift received reminds our community that they are believed in. Thank you to everyone who invests in the mission of GiGi’s Playhouse!
