Capitol Clubhouse

Four Guarantees

A guaranteed right to a place to come. A guaranteed right to meaningful work. A guaranteed right to meaningful relationships. A guaranteed right to a place to return.

Work Ordered Day

The daily activity of our Clubhouse is organized around a structured system known as the work-ordered day. Members and staff work side by side as colleagues.

Career Development

The Career Development unit is responsible for administration, clerical, educational and employment functions including computer education, bookkeeping, resume writing, and job coaching.

Membership Services

The Membership Services Unit is responsible for all referrals, tours, orientations, coordination of transportation and grounds maintenance.

Food Services

The Food Services Unit is responsible for all aspects of the kitchen, café and Clubhouse bank including menu planning, meal preparation, food ordering and budgeting.

Employment Programs

As a right of membership, Capitol Clubhouse provides members with opportunities to return to paid employment through Transitional, Supported, Independent Employment and Group Placement programs.

Transitional Employment

Transitional Employment (TE) is a highly structured program for members returning to work. TE positions are part-time, time limited (6-9 months), and include on-the-job support from Clubhouse staff.

Supported Employment

Supported Employment (SE) is a program through which members are broadly helped by the Clubhouse to seek and obtain a job of their own with ongoing support and encouragement.

Independent Employment

Independent Employment positions may be full or part-time, and belong to the member, who has participated in a fully competitive interview process.

Group Placements

Group Placements are a variation of Transitional Employment where the Clubhouse has a relationship with the employer and provides on-site staffing.

Education

The Clubhouse offers an array of supports that give encouragement and recognition for educational efforts, assisting members with accessing adult education, HiSet programs, colleges and universities.

Young Adult Program

The Young Adult Program is a strengths based program that focuses on the unique needs of our young adult population, ages 18-25.

Wellness

We support our members in making healthy lifestyle choices by offering educational information and opportunities at the Clubhouse. Wellness workshops are held weekly.

What if I'm Not Ready to Work?

That's okay! Some members attend to decrease loneliness and isolation. You won't be put out into the workplace until you are fully ready.
