When we talk about “side by side” work in the Clubhouse, what does that really mean?
Clubhouse is centered around the idea of members and staff working side by side to carry out the daily operations of the Clubhouse. And when we say daily operations, we mean everything. This can include tasks as small as sanitizing door k***s and sweeping the floor, all the way to members serving on our Board of Directors. The Clubhouse belongs to our members, and they take an active role in running it in ways that reflect their voices, strengths, and goals.
Our staff come in each day to support our members in that work. We help members figure out what meaningful work they want to do, encourage them to try new things, and support them in any way we can. We work together, and there is not a single task a staff member works on that a member cannot also be part of. That is the beauty of the Clubhouse model and the beauty of AIM Center.
It is this philosophy that equips our members to pursue their dreams and reach their goals outside of the Clubhouse, too. 🧡
