Mission Statement
Our mission is to improve the lives of all people with Down syndrome, from birth through adulthood, by providing them with the resources they need to apply to life’s challenges and achieve. We accomplish our mission by providing innovative, life-changing programs, at no cost to our participants and their families. GiGi’s NYC’s programs and events empower people with Down syndrome to realize their fullest potential and build the skills necessary for success in school, work and their community. We openly recognize and celebrate their unique talents and achievements to honor their rightful place in the world, where they can contribute.
About This Cause
GiGi’s Playhouse NYC is the only organization in New York City solely dedicated to the development of individuals with Down syndrome of all ages, from birth through adulthood and at every phase of life. We provide therapeutic, educational, social, and creative arts programs and events year-round, at no cost to participants or their families. GiGi’s NYC serves over 1,000 people with Down syndrome and their families, representing almost 10% of the NYC Down syndrome population of approximately 11,000. We empower our diverse participants to be included in the greater community, to be their whole selves as they truly belong, and to make the world a better place. We offer a supportive and nurturing environment that enables those with Down syndrome, their families and even expecting parents, to connect and learn from one another to navigate the world they share. GiGi’s NYC is consistently at the forefront of innovation, as evidenced by our migration to a more virtual world. We design and deliver online programs to complement our face-to-face programs for our growing community, all while being completely funded by our generous donors.
