This Coalition aims to support all Orcas youth to live up to their full human potential.
We do this by strengthening community collaboration in order to reduce youth substance use and improve mental health
The Funhouse is proud to serve as the fiscal agent for the Coalition for Orcas Youth (COY).
The Coalition is made up of stakeholders from across our community, and is funded through a Drug Free Communities of America grant.
COY's mission is to cultivate connections to mobilize our community for positive change.
This dedicated group of members from all sectors of our community meets the second Tuesday of every month (via zoom), 5:30pm-7pm.
The Coalition's work is focused on expanding community prevention efforts regarding youth substance use, anxiety and depression.
Working groups of coalition members focus on topics such as community education, youth-led prevention activities, and changing community norms around substance-use and mental health issues.
