Corporate volunteers play a meaningful role in helping Venture House to support the mental wellness of some of New York’s most resilient residents. Our locations are open 365 days a year and thrive on consistent presence and shared purpose.

One in five adults in New York City will experience a mental health condition.

In the past year, 2,500 people received more than 10,000 hours of support via our growing network of Clubhouses across Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island. This work is made possible by volunteers who bring their skills, curiosity, and time into our communities.

Thank you to ARCHIMED Group and EURÊKA Foundation for your continued partnership.
