The Funhouse Makes a Difference: Here’s the proof!

Back in 1999, when The Funhouse was first imagined, things were lookin’ pretty bad for kids on Orcas. Since then, things have gotten better and better every single year: Drug use is down, tobacco use is down, crime use is down. Here’s a report we put together every couple years based on the most recent data available. To download a PDF copy click here.

The Funhouse released its 2010 Annual report this July. To download a PDF copy click here.

After this weekend’s training course, 11 new babysitters are entering the work force.

The five-hour course, taught by Jodi Luft, provided youth with lessons about safety, basic childcare, safe play and emergency action skills. Other topics included interviewing for a babysitting job, diapering and feeding techniques.

Running Club Scores Big!

The Funhouse Running Club was recently one of just a handful of programs nationwide selected to receive a grant from the Saucony Run for Good Foundation of Massachusetts! We are thrilled, and will use the funds to improve and expand the program.

The club connects kids with their health and well being, gets kids to enjoy nature by accessing all the amazing trails on this island, and fosters self-esteem and self- confidence. We hope use the grant to attract more kids to the program, offer more off-island runs, provide awesome Saucony gear, and further develop the educational nutrition & health component.
