Welcome to the Clubhouse!
One of the key principles of the Clubhouse Model is providing “meaningful work.” Putting this principle into practice, we operate a variety of programs to help members develop employment skills and opportunities. The first step is participation in the Day Program’s work units, where members and staff together identify and carry out the work to be done at the Clubhouse. In addition to helping members find ways to be productive and fulfilled, this provides an opportunity to build relationships, fulfill social needs, and have fun!

Clerical
Members participate in tasks such as phone answering, data entry, newsletter creation, marketing, and outreach, gaining valuable organizational, communication, and technical skills for future employment.
Finance & Grant Management
Members gain experience in budgeting, data entry, and financial recordkeeping, including the use of QuickBooks and monthly bank reconciliations which builds financial literacy, attention to detail, and practical workplace skills. Members also have the opportunity to support grant management activities, contributing to the sustainability and funding of the Clubhouse.
Employment & Resources
This department helps members pursue job opportunities, build resumes, prepare for interviews, and access housing, healthcare, and education resources, supporting long-term independence and success.
Other Assistance
The Clubhouse also assists members with other things, including but not limited to, housing, employment, education, and social needs. The Clubhouse Model believes in the importance of helping members reintegrate into society and achieve independence and self-support. This is to restore self-respect, confidence, and purpose to their lives. In addition to having a family-like atmosphere during the work-ordered day at the Clubhouse, we also host social events every month and on major holidays which members and staff do the planning for.
Let's make a difference for mental health.
Here are some exciting statistics on the outcomes from the Clubhouse Model:
- Employment, with longer on-the-job tenure for members engaging in Clubhouse Transitional Employment.
- Cost effective, compared to other mental healthcare approaches. The cost of Clubhouses estimated to be one-third of the cost of the IPS model; about half the annual costs of Community Mental Health Centers; and substantially less than the ACT model.
- A significant decrease in hospitalizations as a result of membership in a Clubhouse program enhance mental and physical health by reducing disconnectedness.
- Reduced incarcerations, with criminal justice system involvement substantially diminished during and after Clubhouse psychosocial program membership.
- Improved Well-Being compared with individuals receiving psychiatric services without Clubhouse membership. Clubhouse members were significantly more likely to report that they had close friendships and someone they could rely on when they needed help.
- Better physical and mental health. A recent study suggests that service systems like Clubhouses that offer ongoing social supports enhance mental and physical health by reducing disconnectedness.
