Mission Statement

The mission of Passageway is to provide a safe, supportive environment where individuals with mental illness can find support and have the opportunity to gain or improve work and social skills to enrich their lives.

A CLUBHOUSE GUARANTEES:
  • a right to a place to come
  • a right to meaningful work
  • a right to meaningful relationships
  • a right to a place to return

Description

The clubhouse philosophy is based on the principle that membership in the club is voluntary and at no cost to the member. Membership is for a lifetime and members are always welcome to return to the clubhouse after an absence. Staff and members work side-by-side in the work units to complete the tasks of the organization during the work ordered day. Other benefits of the program include Transitional Employment job opportunities and an active social program. Our clubhouse provides an opportunity for members to use their skills, receive emotional support, make friends, and build self-esteem and self-confidence in their abilities. The members who wish to return to the work force can improve their skills or develop new ones by volunteering to work in the differant areas of the clubhouse.
