Hi-Hope supports and maintains 5 groups homes scattered throughout Gwinnett County. We are looking for small groups (of approximately 5 people) to dedicate themselves to the residents of one of these homes for a full year. The basic request is as follows:
1. Plan and host 4 birthday parties each year (one for each of the 4 residents).
2. Fund and attend various outings (movies, picnics, etc.) - the amount and frequency of these outings would be at your discretion.
3. Assist with Christmas activities and gifts
If you want to do more, that is certainly welcome, but this is the basic idea. Not only will you and your group wind up building a truly meaningful relationship with the group home residents, but you get to volunteer in a way that is creative, flexible, and ongoing.
This opportunity is perfect for small, corporate groups, church groups, youth groups, service organizations, families, etc.
Consider making a difference today!

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.
