The Coalition for Orcas Youth aims to support all Orcas youth to live up to their full human potential.
We will do this by strengthening community collaboration, reducing youth substance use, and reducing anxiety and depression.
The Funhouse is proud to serve as the umbrella organization 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 in the coming year will be focused on expanding community prevention efforts regarding youth substance use, anxiety and depression.
Working groups will include community education, youth-led prevention activities, and changing community norms around substance-use and mental health issues.
If you are interested in joining us in 2021, contact coordinators Alison Sanders or Sarah Nichols.
