FOCUS Clubhouse is modeled after Clubhouse International. FOCUS Clubhouse is a Member of Clubhouse International and our standards will be geared to comply with the standards of their model. In time, we will meet all 37 standards. Understand Clubhouse International standards are the standards we are reaching for, but as a new non-profit, certain International standards are out of our immediate reach. Our future goals are to have a full time staff to open doors Monday - Friday during normal working hours. We do not have the sponsorship necessary to foster that goal. Clubhouse International standards also require we have a work ordered day at the Clubhouse and have the capability of transitional employment for members who work. We don't have that capability at his time.
But one day, we will!
Feel free to review the International standards so you know where are goals are guiding us. Our current standards will be published in January of 2020.
Every aspect of this non-profit has been obtained through long hours and relentless dedication by the Founders and Board Members on the home page, along with assistance from several in the community. FOCUS Clubhouse was blessed with the outpouring of support from our "Let's Make Waves" campaign and now the doors are open. We have much more to accomplish. And we will!
Stay tuned. We are just getting started!

Special thanks to Mark Buchanan, Executive Director at Clubhouse of St. Joseph County in South Bend, Indiana. We felt the best way to demonstrate what a clubhouse model is and how it effects the community is best expressed in this video. This is our vision for the future in Lafayette, La. Please assist us in making this vision a reality! (Video used with permission from Clubhouse of St. Joseph County.) |
