Genesis Club House, Inc.

Genesis Club House, Inc. Genesis Club is work-focused community of hope and dignity where mental health recovery is possible.


Genesis Club opened its doors on September 15, 1988 with 25 members. Twelve months prior, a committed and passionate Board of Directors decided that the city of Worcester should have a free-standing Clubhouse community. This decision was made after a visit to Fountain House in New York City, the first clubhouse model in the country. From a modest beginning, Genesis Club has developed a highly recognized Accredited Clubhouse with Clubhouse International that is an Evidenced Based Practice with the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Genesis Club offers vocational training, education, employment, housing, wellness and social supports to over 550 members each year. Most importantly, Genesis Club offers a community of hope and dignity where recovery is possible. Genesis Club is one of twelve training centers of Clubhouse International. Since that time, the Genesis International Training Center has trained over 300 Clubhouses, 2000 colleagues from 35 states and 16 countries. Genesis Club strives to be a leading community partner with Worcester employers, landlords, families, colleges/universities and health care providers.

Join us in saying farewell to our colleagues visiting from Tradewinds (Southbridge, MA), Railway Clubhouse (Newton, KS), Thunderbird Clubhouse (Norman, OK), Breakthrough Clubhouse (Wichita, KS) Northstar Clubhouse (Portland, OR). For the last two weeks these colleagues participated in the Comprehensive Clubhouse Training. Through engagement in the units and the work-ordered day, they have learned from each other and are ready to bring their knowledge back to their home clubhouses. Thank you for training with us. We wish you and your Clubouses all the best!
