Mission Statement
To impact youth with highly-motivated, enthusiastic, and caring volunteer mentors in an open non-structured safe environment equipped with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art hardware and software allowing youth the freedom for self-exploration while learning, exchanging experiences and developing bonds with mentors from the community-at-large.
Description
The Clubhouse is guided by four principles: The Clubhouse focuses on "constructionist" activities, encouraging young people to work as designers, inventors, and creators. The Clubhouse encourages youth to work on projects related to their own interests. The Clubhouse aims to create a sense of community, where young people work together with one another with support and inspiration from adult mentors. The Clubhouse is dedicated to offering resources and opportunities to those who would not otherwise have access to them.
