Susanne, we are so grateful for you!! Our volunteers are our best asset! Thank you all for your time and heart!

At GiGi’s, growth goes both ways.
Meet Susane, a volunteer at GiGi's Playhouse Atlanta. She first joined GiGi's as a graduate student, supporting Amina Grace one-on-one speech sessions for her semester-long internship.
When the semester ended, Susanne could have moved on, but she didn’t.
She returned as a tutor, helping participants make even more progress, and even leading an LMNOP class when help was needed.
Susanne's story shows that volunteering at GiGi's means growing alongside our participants, and we're so grateful for the impact she continues to make!
Want to kick off 2026 by helping others and growing along the way? Learn how to volunteer here: https://ow.ly/5tiU50XYafr

Our Story

GiGi’s Playhouse Atlanta is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources, therapeutic classes, specialized teaching and support to families of T21 (Trisomy 21/Down syndrome). Everything at GiGi’s Playhouse is FREE: occupational and physical therapy, tutoring and family support. The T21 population share common obstacles: sleep apnea, hypotonia (low muscle tone), weak mouth skills, low sensory awareness, nutritional deficits. If tackled early, these challenges can be managed and overcome. Early intervention works. Classes at GiGi’s Playhouse are styled for therapeutic play to develop speech and language, social development, fine and gross motor skills. Our literacy program builds a foundation from the beginning in four main areas: articulation, sight word recognition, vocabulary, comprehension. Tutoring is conducted one-on-one over 12 weeks with a 94% graduation rate to the next literacy level. T21 is a diagnosis of hope and one that with a little early intervention, a normal and independent life is possible.
