Clubhouse offers opportunities for members to develop skills that are useful to our Clubhouse but that may also prove invaluable when members are ready to join (or return) to the workforce. The skills, talents, and creative ideas and efforts of each member are needed and encouraged each day. Participation is voluntary, but each member is always invited to participate in work which includes clerical duties, reception, food service, recreation management, outreach, maintenance, financial services and much more. Membership in a Clubhouse gives a person living with mental illness the opportunity to share in creating successes for the community. At the same time, he or she is gaining the necessary skills and support to achieve individual success and satisfaction.
