ORGANIZATION: Hi-Hope Service Center

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

Hi-Hope is always in need of talented individuals eager to share their hobbies and passions with the people we support. As such, we are on the hunt for people willing to teach a one time or ongoing class to a small group of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Hi-Hope has successfully held (or currently hosts) classes with the following areas of focus: acting, improv comedy, gardening, crafting, painting, sign language, cooking, pop dancing, aerobics, yoga, walking fitness, photography, music, hula dancing and much more. Classes take place at our main campus or offsite at locations determined by the volunteers. We have staff, vehicles and all other necessary supports in place to help volunteer teachers - all you have to do is lead the lesson. Lessons typically last between 1-2 hours are done M-F between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM (morning sessions) or 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM (afternoon sessions).

Volunteers also have access to our diverse, but limited collection of supplies to help their activities. If specific materials are needed, we can reach out to our support network for donations or equipment loans. There is nothing we aren't willing to explore so don't hesitate, reach out and get involved. Thanks in advance!

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.
