Nurturing Growth in a Supportive Community
At Clubhouse, we're excited to introduce a unique and inclusive program tailored for young adults on the autism spectrum. Our closed group provides a warm and supportive environment, focused on fostering essential life skills, social development, and a sense of community.
Clubhouse is a closed group, ensuring a safe and understanding space for every participant. The program is designed to celebrate diversity, encourage personal growth, and provide a strong foundation for navigating the world with confidence.
Monthly Dues are $50 (financial assistance is available). This helps cover the cost of activities, food, and supplies used.
Applications and a personal interview are required in order to be considered for membership.
Membership is capped at 12 participants and is currently full. We will consider applications for our waitlist.
Clubhouse meets weekly on Wednesdays from 2-5pm at the Special Olympics building with occasional outings planned in part by the group members.
Members attend by themselves and must be able to take care of their personal care and bathroom needs, and be free from aggressive behaviors.
Program Highlights:
Social Skills Mastery: Through engaging activities and interactive sessions, participants have the opportunity to refine their social skills. From effective communication to building and maintaining friendships, we create a space where every individual can flourish socially.
