Why am I not getting paid when I work at the Clubhouse?

The Clubhouse Model is based on the work-ordered day which centers on the development of skills necessary for employment in a competitive job market. In a work-ordered day, members learn teamwork and develop interpersonal skills, such as job interviewing, communication, and problem-solving.

How many hours can I work at the Clubhouse?

Membership is voluntary and you may participate in as many hours as you want. Members are encouraged to keep a set schedule because the ultimate outcome is a job where keeping to a schedule is expected. The same is true if your goals are higher education.

Most members will be ready for transitional employment in six to nine months. Some may be ready before six months and some might take longer. It depends on the individual member.

Does the Clubhouse provide activities on weekends or during the evening?
