GiGi’s Playhouse NYC is the only nonprofit organization in New York City solely dedicated to the development of individuals with Down syndrome of all ages, from birth through adulthood and at every phase of life. We provide therapeutic, educational, social, and creative arts programs and events year-round, at no cost to participants or their families, all while being completely funded by our generous donors and leveraging a 99% volunteer-led model.

Job Description

GiGi’s NYC is looking for a dedicated Adult Programs Manager to pilot and launch our vocational and non-vocational programs, starting with our career training programs.

The Adult Programs Manager facilitates the implementation of all adult career training programs at the playhouse (and possibly at an outside facility such as a community partner), which includes directly supporting individuals participating in the GiGi Prep, GiGi University, and GiGi Professional programs, as well as those seeking job or volunteer placements in the community. The Adult Program Manager ensures these programs operate effectively and engages with the community to increase acceptance, opportunities, and career success for adults with Down syndrome. Effective operation of the programs includes making sure they are properly staffed with skilled and trained volunteers and follow structured curriculums that provide a high quality, outcome-driven program according to the program model developed by the National Program Team.

The Adult Programs Manager will also facilitate the implementation of non-vocational programs once rolled out by the National Program Team to our older teen and adult population.
