ORGANIZATION: Hi-Hope Service Center

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 3 people are interested

Hi-Hope is a 59 year old organization that supports adults with developmental disabilities by connecting them with integrated opportunities for learning, work and leisure. Many of the folks with support have spent their lives segregated from the community at large; denied the opportunity to engage with and explore the world around them. Here is where you come in...

We need volunteers to help us identify and organize short outings for small groups. For example, perhaps you have a connection to a local park and want to play a picnic for an hour or two. Or maybe you work for a business that would be willing to host a Lunch & Learn (a short tour followed by lunch). Or perhaps your best friend has extra tickets to a Gwinnett Braves game. Anything and everything is fair game as long as it gets our folks out and about in the community.

We provide transportation and staff support so all you have to do as the volunteer is be a point of contact. You can work directly with our Volunteer Coordinator to iron out all the details so that everything is fun, easy and runs smooth.

Don't overthink this request. If you have a heart to help some very grateful and very wonderful folks, just reach out and we will make it happen!

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.
