Club House

Experiencing good days with good friends! The Day Services Clubhouse program supports young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to gain the confidence and independence needed to lead more productive and active lives. Goodwill operates two centers that develop and provide person-centered activities based on individual interests and needs. Whether they are working part-time or just looking for a more active lifestyle, our participants may choose from a variety of classes and opportunities to improve life skills through recreational and social activities, health and wellness activities, arts and enrichment classes, community outings and volunteer opportunities.
