Youth & Young
Adults with Disabilities

It is our goal to provide meaningful activities for people with disabilities and to provide a place of gathering for our community. The Funhouse strives to make our activities and programs available to all youth regardless of ability. If you have a disability or are the caretaker of an individual with a disability we would love to talk to you about how we can accommodate your needs.

In addition to our current weekly programming, we will be hosting one-off outings, such as mini golf, fishing or whatever our community is interested in.

Please REGISTER HERE for our YYAD programs and activities. If you have any questions, please contact Greg White greg@thefunhouse.org
