65 members of the community came together to create a 'third place' in the area; somewhere besides work and home that people could gather and connect. A coffee shop, book store and work place training resulted from the meeting.

Young people come for training and learn a variety of soft and hard skills in the hospitality industry and then are afforded an opportunity to gain experience and a track record.

They are mentored by older or retired members of the community. The South Whidbey Commons facility is usually open 7 days a week, and on Fridays there are live events. The Common Room which seats 30 people can be hired for meetings or presentations.
