Pillars & Partners
At the South Whidbey Community Center, everything on campus is guided by four core pillars:
Art, Education, Recreation, & Social Services.
The Center itself serves as a shared hub, where a diverse network of Campus & Community Partners offer classes, services, workshops, and events. By bringing these partners together in one place, the Community Center makes it easy to explore new opportunities, access resources, and connect with others.
In addition to our on-campus partners, we collaborate with broader community organizations including:
South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District, South Whidbey Soccer Club, Whidbey Island Shakespeare Festival, Langley Art Friends, The Langley Creative District.
