Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Volunteer. GiGi’s Playhouse is a volunteer run organization and we rely on the skill and dedication of volunteers of various levels of expertise to keep our programs vibrant, educational, fun and free. Since the first Playhouse opened in 2003, GiGi’s Playhouse programs have always been free for our families. Parents, family members, clinicians, and individuals who believe in the GiGi’s Playhouse mission act as volunteers in GiGi’s Playhouse programs, events, administrative offices, and on our Board of Members.
After signing up as a volunteer, you’ll receive a confirmation email letting you know that we’ve received your interest. From there, please wait for a follow-up email from our team with details about our required in-person volunteer training – do not attend a virtual orientation.
Please note:
- Volunteers ages 12-13 must volunteer alongside a parent or guardian
- Volunteers age 14 may volunteer without a parent, but a parent or guardian must remain on-site at the Playhouse during their shift.
We’re so excited to welcome you and look forward to seeing you in action soon!
