From sidebysideclubhouse.org/programs ↗About this program
Side by Side's program participants, called members, work alongside staff to operate the Clubhouse while building social, thinking and work skills necessary to regain self-sufficiency. Weekday program hours are 8:30 am to 2:30 pm with some evening and weekend activities. Members volunteer in one of three work units: Maintenance, Kitchen or Business. Each unit has distinct tasks. Members' goals vary, however they are always incremental steps to increase independence.
Work-ordered day participation with real-time peer and professional feedback provides natural support and scaffolding to practice work-based tasks in three different work units.
Person-centered plans encourage you to claim experiences of success and failure that build insight and strategies to compensate for cognitive, communication, and physical challenges. Group volunteer and social activities in the community offer opportunities to generalize and expand work-related abilities and gain new levels of confidence and self-sufficiency.
Individualized vocational counseling is built into the day program to explore employment interests and options. As members progress, vocational services shift toward supporting the member to begin employment networking, job search activities, managing life skills to maintain employment, and onsite/distance job coaching.
