Colleague Training
Colleague training is an opportunity to learn about and experience Clubhouse philosophy, culture, relationships, and the day-to-day operations of a Clubhouse model.
WHO: An interested Clubhouse/Agency should plan to send a combination of staff and members for regional training. It is recommended that the administrator of your agency join you for the last week of your training.
WHEN: Training sessions are offered throughout the year, by reservation.
LODGING: You will be staying at our beautiful, Victorian-style Training Center which is included in your tuition.
In General
The training enables colleagues to immerse themselves in the Clubhouse community. The time will give colleagues a solid background in the basic Clubhouse mechanics. How does a work unit run? What is the philosophy of a Clubhouse? What are Staff/member relations? What is transitional employment and how does it work? This will be accomplished through the training curriculum that has been developed by the International Center for Clubhouse Development over the past ten years.
The curriculum includes participation in Genesis work units, an opportunity to become involved in the transitional employment program, developing a Clubhouse housing component, and ample time to discuss Clubhouse ideas and issues.
A site visit to a nearby Clubhouse will be included to enable colleagues to see different Clubhouse scenarios. We also provide a series of readings that complement the colleagues' day-to-day Clubhouse experience. Even more importantly, however, is that a two- or three-week long session truly allows colleagues to develop relationships with the staff and the members of Genesis Club. These relationships are the heart of any quality Clubhouse. They cannot be taught, they must be experienced.
Basic Clubhouse Training
First Time Participants (New Clubhouses) $6,500
This three-week or two-week training experience is designed for programs converting to the Clubhouse Model from another service approach or starting as a new Clubhouse. Tuition includes training and lodging for four (4) participants (the Clubhouse Director, one staff, one member, and an additional staff or member). Additionally, tuition includes training and lodging for an individual with administrative oversight responsibility for the Clubhouse for the last week of the program. Post-training site visits are negotiable and are scheduled six to nine months after the training experience. The training base and the Clubhouse requesting a post-site visit will share in the cost. There is an added fee of $2,000 for Clubhouses that would like to send an additional participant for the entire training or $900 for an additional last week administrator participant.
Ongoing Training (Established Clubhouses) $4,500
This three-week or two-week training experience is equivalent to training for first time participants but it is designed for Clubhouses where the Clubhouse Director has already been to training. Tuition includes training and lodging for three (3) participants (a Clubhouse staff, a member and an individual with administrative oversight responsibility for the last week of the three-week experience, or the last three days of the two-week experience). Post-training site visits are negotiable and are scheduled six to nine months after the training experience. The training base and the Clubhouse requesting a post-site visit will share the cost of the visit. There is an added fee of $2,000 for Clubhouses that would like to send an additional participant for the entire training or $900 for an additional last week administrator participant.
