About us

​Genesis Club is a non-profit (est. 1988) whose mission is to help persons in recovery from mental illness attain employment, education, physical health and decent housing. The organization was structured on the Clubhouse model of rehabilitation, following a visit to Fountain House in New York City, one of the model’s impressive examples. This model is that of a member-based community in which the members participate in strategically designed, evidence-based programs providing:

• Job skills training/employment support
• Support completing high school, a vocational program, or college
• Health/wellness activities, and
• Assistance obtaining decent housing
​
Genesis’s “members” (our clients) work side by side with staff to administer the organization’s operations through our “Work-Ordered Day,” which helps individuals rebuild a rhythm and structure to their activities that parallels the typical work week and working hours.  Genesis Club is an Evidenced Based Practice model, as defined by the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Genesis Club is also a certified International Training Center with Clubhouse International.  ​
