Stepping up is a new, outdoor-based exploration program at The Funhouse for students in grades K-8. The program will be held 100% outdoors at The Funhouse and around Eastsound, and will consist of walks and hikes, beach excursions and more!
Leadership skill development will be encouraged through games, activities, and discussions that focus on critical thinking and listening, social emotional development, and environmental and social justice issues.
Participants will be placed in small groups based on age-range, and the schedule will be dependent on interest and availability.

IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A MENTOR!
Ali, 31 and Serafina, 13 have been matched for about 2 years now. Serafina was involved in other programs at the Funhouse and eventually became aware of the mentor program. “One of my favorite things about having a mentor is having someone to talk to”, says Serafina, and Ali wholeheartedly agrees!
As part of their agreement through the Funhouse mentor program, they have committed to spend at least 4 hours a month together, doing an activity of their choice. At the beginning of COVID things changed for a bit and they were meeting virtually once a week. Now, they are able to safely get out again and are enjoying nature walks, either on the trails or beaches.
