Volunteer

GiGi's Playhouse Simi Valley is looking for interested and committed volunteers to help us make our Playhouse as successful as it can be.

Volunteers are a crucial part of the success of GiGi's Playhouses all over the country.
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.
