GiGi’s Playhouse Achievers and GiGiFIT Programs Are Coming!

We are thrilled to announce that two incredible programs—GiGi’s Achievers and GiGiFIT—are coming to our Playhouse! These programs will run Thursdays during the day, and they are designed to fill a much-needed gap for our adult participants. Parents have expressed a strong desire for more opportunities that promote independence, social engagement, and physical wellness for adults with Down syndrome.

Why These Programs Matter

As our participants grow, their needs evolve. While we offer many programs for children and teens, there has been a noticeable gap for adults who want to continue learning, building friendships, and staying active. GiGi’s Achievers and GiGiFIT are here to bridge that gap, providing meaningful experiences that empower adults to thrive in all areas of life.

About GiGi’s Achievers

GiGi’s Achievers is a goal-oriented program for adults with Down syndrome, focusing on building independence, confidence, and life skills. Participants work on personal goals in areas such as:

• Social skills: Communication, teamwork, and relationship building.
• Daily living: Ex. Budgeting, meal planning, and time management.

This program creates a supportive environment where adults can learn and grow together, preparing for success in their communities. It’s not just about learning—it’s about achieving!

About GiGiFIT

GiGiFIT is a fitness program designed specifically for individuals with Down syndrome, combining physical therapy principles with fun, motivating activities. The program focuses on:

• Strength and endurance: Building muscle and improving cardiovascular health.
• Balance and coordination: Enhancing motor skills for everyday activities.
• Confidence through movement: Helping participants feel strong and capable.

GiGiFIT sessions are tailored to each participant’s abilities, ensuring everyone can participate and progress at their own pace. Staying active is essential for overall health, and GiGiFIT makes fitness accessible and enjoyable.

We Need Volunteers!

To make these programs successful, we need passionate volunteers to join us on Thursdays. Volunteers will assist with activities, encourage participants, and help create a positive, inclusive environment. Whether you have experience in education, fitness, or simply a heart for our mission, we’d love to have you on the team! Sign up NOW!
