Clubhouses

A Community of Hope & Healing

Clubhouse members are embraced for their individual talents, personalities, and abilities, all of which help build the unique culture of each Clubhouse community. A sense of membership, support, and belonging is at the heart of the Clubhouse model.

Riverside staff and Clubhouse members work side-by-side to complete the Clubhouse’s daily operations. Together, they cultivate a supportive environment where members can regain job skills, find employment, reduce hospitalizations, and develop meaningful relationships. Members can choose and pursue their individual goals at the Clubhouse.
