What is a Clubhouse?
Based on the idea the WORK IS HEALING, the Clubhouse Day Program pairs the goals of the person with the needs of the nonprofit. This meaningful work improves one's skills, enhances quality of life and provides real-life work experience to return to employment.
Divided in Work Units, members work side by side with staff to complete the Work of the Day.
The day starts at 9:00 with a Morning Meeting followed by jobs in the Work Units. Lunch is prepared at 11:00 a.m. by our Culinary Unit. Afternoon groups begin at 12:45 and may include a variety of activities such as exercise, art, meditation, educational speakers and wellness topics.
