This work is necessary to operate the Clubhouse, and is transformative in nature. When a member volunteers their time working in one of our units, it allows them to build the skills needed in every day life.

Our Culinary Teams work hard every day providing healthy meals for our members at an affordable price. Our team members prepare and train for all food service skills ranging from cleaning, to cooking, to serving, to point of sale transactions.

Our Career Development Teams gain experience utilizing Microsoft Office applications, Mac applications, and our in-house bank, to assist in the running of our Clubhouses. Team members can also work on job related skills.

Our Visual Communications Teams allow our members to express themselves creatively through our daily newsletter, weekly broadcasts, and quarterly mailings. Our teams work with industry-leading equipment and technology. Additionally, they run the front desk area, phones, and will greet and check you in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I be a member?

Membership is voluntary and for life. Members, at their choosing, determine the frequency, and duration of time spent at the Clubhouse.

What time does each day begin?

Clubhouse hours are 8am to 4pm, with a daily morning meeting at 9.

What kind of work will I do?

Three departments (units), each with their own responsibilities, work together in collaboration to run the program. Members work side-by- side with staff in the running of the Clubhouse, and through this process, members build their skillset, which can then be utilized at their future place of employment.

The Culinary Arts Unit offers dietary and cooking skills, stamina building, shopping, and maintaining the budget, along with maintenance and development of the garden.

Our Communications Unit helps members learn customer service, public speaking, publication creation, photography, video production, and social media management.

Our Career Development/Member Services Unit focuses on resume building, interview skills, data entry, and in-house banking for training in self-budgeting.

Is there a fee?

There is no fee to become a member of Vincent House and Clubhouse services are never withheld because of a member’s ability to provide financial support.

Because Vincent House relies on donations to operate, we do appreciate members and/or their families, who are financially able, to voluntarily provide monthly support.

How can I learn more about the Clubhouse Model?
