We are so excited to open GiGi's Playhouse in Lancaster, PA on January 11, 2020! We have a great community of families, friends, educators, therapists, and community members who are working together to make the dream of GiGi's a reality! We are working to establish a great network of individuals, families, and businesses in the Lancaster area who love someone with Down syndrome. We believe that by opening GiGi's Playhouse, we will have an even greater opportunity to impact more families in Lancaster and the surrounding counties.

GiGi's Playhouse is the only worldwide network of Down syndrome achievement centers; changing lives through free, results-driven programs for individuals of all ages, their families & communities. In helping individuals with Down syndrome achieve their best of all, we also advance our larger vision of global acceptance for people of all abilities. GiGi's was established 16 years ago and has 46+ locations. There are also 10+ Playhouses coming soon, including Lancaster, PA!" 

GiGi's Playhouse Lancaster is unique because we will be able to provide a physical location for participants of all ages and their families to participate in therapeutic-based, educational and career training programming. The programs will be rooted in continuous improvement and high expectations. Programs will always be available for free, as cost will never be a barrier to achievement or acceptance. We will be a positive light for participants and their families because we believe that individuals with Down syndrome have a unique ability to touch someone's heart and change their life in a positive way. We believe that every person with Down syndrome can make a big difference in the lives of their families, friends and community! Through GiGi's Playhouse, we want to empower participants with Down syndrome to overcome obstacles, reach their goals, and achieve their Best of All! 

We invite you to join us for volunteer orientation on March 5th from 6:30-8pm! Please reach out to Program Coordinator, Alisha Fitzwater at lancaster@gigisplayhouse.org with any questions about volunteering.
