Over the year, the Clubhouse has undertaken two important initiatives:
Rebekah Dorman, Ph.D. improving transportation for our members and reaching more young
Steve Garfunkel adults. Despite the pandemic, the number of people in supported
Aaron Haynesworth employment continued to grow during the past year. However, COVID-19
Ivan Lozano proved challenging for many of the businesses that provided Transitional
Chuck Maimbourg Employment. Transitional Employment is a partnership with area
Christopher Morgan employers for positions that our members hold for 6 to 12 months. Our
Sarah Ott-Hansen members become employees of the companies, and the Clubhouse staff
Miriam Plax provide all the training and support, and guarantee job coverage. These
Patrick S. Runnels, M.D. opportunities provide a first step into employment for those who choose
Kenneth Surratt to build their skills and confidence before seeking ongoing employment.
Siobhan R. Thompson Some of our employment partners closed permanently, and we are
Carla M. Wainwright working to rebuild the number of these positions for our members. We are
Lucy Weller seeking a variety of entry level positions. We also continued to support
Lakecia Wild people in various educational pursuits, and offered modest scholarships
