- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Hi-Hope supports adults with developmental disabilities and it is our goal to fill each day with opportunities for activities and engagement with the community outside the walls of our main facility in Lawrenceville. To that end, we are encouraging lovely people like yourself to host a simple, 1.5 - 2 hour activity at your office, business, clubhouse, or church. The activity needn't be complicated - watch a movie, learn about what you do at your business, do some arts & crafts, dance and socialize, have a picnic - and it will have a huge impact. We provide ample staff to support the activity and help it run smoothly and we provide all the necessary transportation. All you need to do is arrange the space and any necessary materials. We generally do these activities Monday through Friday in the aforementioned 1.5 to 2 hour blocks between 9:30 am and 1:00 pm. Email us today to get something on the books. Thanks!

Mission Statement
Hi-Hope Service Center supports adults with developmental disabilities by building and sustaining individual independence.
Description
In 1960 the parents of six young students from Gwinnett County founded one of the first organizations in Georgia to teach children with intellectual disabilities. Under the capable leadership of Mrs.Vinie Lowry and support from many parents and the greater Gwinnett Community construction of a special needs school was completed in 1970. A special needs preschool was added subsequently. In the late 1990’s when all student programs, including the pre-school program, were integrated into the public schools, Hi-Hope became an adult only program.
Today, Hi-Hope Center carries on the founders' legacy of caring and innovation by supporting adults with developmental disabilities by building and sustaining their independence.
