Journey Center Clubhouse
The Journey Center Clubhouse is a place for individuals experiencing mental illness to regain the confidence and skills needed to lead productive and satisfying lives. We support the belief that every person has a contribution to make that will assist in achieving the operations of the clubhouse while, at the same time, building self-empowerment. Staff engages each member in “work-ordered day” tasks, driven by member interest, that focus on their strengths, talents, and abilities through a community of mutual support, positivity, and wellness.
The Journey Center units include:
Business Affairs Unit
receptionist/clerical work, data collection and entry, in- house newsletter publication, computer skills, new member orientation and outreach, accessing employment/educational goals, and developing continuing education skills.
Growing Healthy Unit
cooking, meal planning, budgeting, gardening, wellness activities; our Bistro snack shop promotes cashier duties, stocking/inventory, and customer service skills.
