Support Youth Programming
The study of the arts – music, theatre, dance, and visual arts – promotes creativity, encourages physical movement and flexibility, enhances socialization and problem-solving skills, and gives children an outlet for self-expression as they are finding their way in the world.
Our tiny island lacks dedicated resources for schools to provide the type of arts education that many adults experienced, and Orcas Center is proud to support and work with organizations that fill that gap for our island youth.
The Orcas Dance Collective has its home at Orcas Center, and schedules hundreds of classes each year with performance opportunities for students of all ages!
A*OK – Art for Orcas Kids is a regular fixture at Orcas Center throughout the school year, with weekly classes and dedicated yearly art shows to exhibit fantastic creations!
Orcas Center provides an annual Summer Theatre Camp for school-aged children, as well as a youth talent show to celebrate budding artists and performers!
We couldn’t do any of this without your support!
Please consider donating to our End-of-the-year Fundraiser and Help us Thrive in ’25!
