Hi-Hope supports adults with a wide variety of intellectual and developmental disabilities. We have been doing this successfully for over 58 years. We would like to enhance our program by providing a weekly "Music Appreciation Hour" where a musician/s visits and performs a rather intimate concert for our individuals. We hope to have the same musician/s visit each week to develop a relationship with our folks and to learn what songs or types of music keep them engaged.
Perhaps the second level of this project would be developing - with the help of our staff - a way to involve our individuals in creating music. Whether this means teaching them to play instruments, helping them to write songs, or whatever - the sky is the limit and we are willing to try anything.
If you want to bring the gift of music to Hi-Hope, please let us know by filling out our short Volunteer Application at www.hihopecenter.org/volunteer.
*Please note: Hi-Hope's main operating hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

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.
