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

September 30, 2009

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.

oh and you all do really well but why do you have to have teen night only on Friday and Saturday.

Hi Jon!
Good question. Friday and Saturday night are most important. That’s when kids are looking for something to do, and we want to give them a fun, safe something to do. It’s also about demand, and funding. We’re not sure that many kids would come on other nights, and we also would need to find funding to be open. But we are certainly open to the idea!
