I am extremely lucky to have been able to intern at such a great organization for the community! Although with the majority of things being virtual\/remote for many people and the adjustments to the &#8220;new normal&#8221; being difficult, I am thankful that being virtual has allowed me to continue volunteering for GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse into the school year while I am away. I am an advertising major at the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana, so having the opportunity to learn all about GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse and the volunteers dedicated to making it such a great organization has been so amazing. The staff has been extremely kind and welcoming these last few months, and I have been able to learn so many useful things for my future career, as well as for life in general with getting to know all about what makes GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse such a great place to be!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a place to volunteer, consider GiGi&#8217;s Playhouse!<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are always needed for programming and they are also looking for volunteers to fill the following roles.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Volunteer Coordinator(s)<\/li>\n<li>Virtual Program Coordinator(s)<\/li>\n<li>Fundraising\/Event Committee Members<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to know more, contact the Playhouse at 309-762-7529 or <a href=\"mailto:volunteerquadcities@gigisplayhouse.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volunteerquadcities@gigisplayhouse.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ava is also the Team Captain for the GiGi&#8217;s Volunteer Team for the 2020 Superhero Run, Walk, Dash.
