The Funhouse Commons serves the urgent needs of young people and strengthens community bonds by providing a safe and stimulating environment where all can learn, discover, create, socialize, and be heard.

Our goals are to create caring relationships, support island families, and build a healthier community.

As Orcas Island’s youth-focused community center, we fulfill the Funhouse mission by providing research-based, best practices out-of-school time programming and expanded learning opportunities for island children and teens age birth to 18. Our core Afterschool, Mentor, and Education Programs support youth gains in positive social/emotional learning, affirming peer/adult relationships, resiliency, self-efficacy, skill building, and greater college/post­secondary education preparedness.
