I first volunteered at GiGi\u2019s two years ago for their summer camp. I immediately fell in love with it! The environment was so positive and encouraging, and I knew on the first day that I\u2019d be back. There\u2019s a strong sense of community between everyone there. I volunteer at GiGi\u2019s because it makes me happy and I love helping participants learn and grow. At the Playhouse, we embrace each other\u2019s differences and share a message of acceptance. We celebrate all victories-even the little ones. It\u2019s amazing to see how GiGi\u2019s has transformed the lives of so many people through these empowering programs. I\u2019ve learned so much from volunteering at GiGi\u2019s and made lots of new friends. I truly think that it\u2019s made me a better person. It\u2019s so rewarding to see kids gain confidence in themselves, and GiGi\u2019s makes it possible for thousands of families to ensure that their children are reaching their full potential. GiGi\u2019s Playhouse means a lot to me, and I\u2019m so lucky to volunteer there.<\/p>\n
