“Get Real”– The Funhouse is launching another fantastic program with Beth Jenson, LMHC- This time for 7th-8th graders! Get Real is a leadership group about REAL stuff: real relationships, human weirdness, social issues, sexuality, school and life. It is designed for (and by) smart, passionate teens that care about being REAL.
Wednesdays from 5:45-7:45 PM starting January 11.
7th-8th grades only.
Junior Staff volunteering:
This program, for 6th graders and older, is a perfect first step in gaining job skills. We will set up a job interview and provide basic job training. This is a great resume and volunteer experience builder for students. Pick up an application at the Funhouse front office!
Mentor Opportunities:
In addition to the Afterschool program, Teen programs, and Education programs, Funhouse Commons has a thriving Mentor program where you can become a mentor for an island youth, apply for a mentor for your child, or be matched with a Skills Mentor for yourself!
