Genesis Club is work-focused community of hope and dignity where mental health recovery is possible.

Genesis Club opened its doors on September 15, 1988 with 25 members. Twelve months prior, a committed and passionate Board of Directors decided that the city of Worcester should have a free-standing Clubhouse community. This decision was made after a visit to Fountain House in New York City, the first clubhouse model in the country. From a modest beginning, Genesis Club has developed a highly recognized Accredited Clubhouse with Clubhouse International that is an Evidenced Based Practice with the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Genesis Club offers vocational training, education, employment, housing, wellness and social supports to over 550 members each year. Most importantly, Genesis Club offers a community of hope and dignity where recovery is possible. Genesis Club is one of twelve training centers of Clubhouse International. Since that time, the Genesis International Training Center has trained over 300 Clubhouses, 2000 colleagues from 35 states and 16 countries. Genesis Club strives to be a leading community partner with Worcester employers, landlords, families, colleges/universities and health care providers.

This is one of our newer clubhouse initiatives, in partnership with the Worcester Public Library, which prioritizes dignity and respect, and offers a hot cup of coffee and a phone charging station. Our goal is to foster authentic and caring conversations with people struggling with mental health and homelessness in Worcester. Thank you again to the GWCF for your support of this important work.

In the current economy getting hired can be a challenge for anyone, but for someone living with a challenging mental health diagnosis, it can feel nearly impossible. Using the resources of Genesis Club’s Career Development Unit, and the leads from our partner MassHire, Anders landed a position with SnapChef. The Clubhouse helped Anders prepare for his interview and complete his training and certification. Now Anders travels across Massachusetts and Rhode Island as a sous chef! Congratulations Anders, on your new career!

Genesis Club held its annual holiday party this week! More than 130 members, staff, board members and friends gathered at the Salem Covenant Church to celebrate the great work we accomplished together this year. We are grateful to the happy crew of volunteer “elves” who helped serve and clean up from dinner so that we could just enjoy ourselves. A special thank you to Jimmy George (Boulevard Diner), for once again providing a delicious meal. Holidays are truly special when celebrated in a Clubhouse community!
