Description of Services:  We currently have an array of services for all ages and age groups  visit our Progams page to access our services. Raleigh: gigisplayhouse.org/raleigh/programs/    Charlotte:  gigisplayhouse.org/charlotte/program-listings/

Our Mission and Purpose:  To change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance                                                         for all.
Our Vision:  To see a world where individuals with Down syndrome are accepted and embraced in their families, schools and                              communities.
Our Niche:  We change lives through consistent delivery of free educational, therapeutic-based and career development                                     programs for individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community, through a replicable playhouse                           model.
Our Promise:  A lifetime commitment to families.GiGi’s Playhouse is the ONLY network of Down Syndrome Achievement                                       Centers. Every day, we provide FREE, life-changing therapeutic, educational and career training programs for                                   30,000+ individuals of all ages. 

Down syndrome is the largest chromosomal disability in our country and yet, it is the least funded. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed! 

Through free programs and through our Generation G Campaign for global acceptance, we EMPOWER families by maximizing opportunities for daily achievement and lasting acceptance. To ensure lasting acceptance, we must show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are truly capable of achieving as students, co-workers, volunteers, friends, and valued members of their communities. Our program outcomes help advance this vital social impact goal.

GiGi's Playhouse is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization and is solely funded by donations.
