Employment Program
At HOPE Clubhouse, we believe meaningful work is a cornerstone of recovery.
Our Employment Program offers two proven pathways – Supported Employment and Transitional Employment – to help members re-enter the workforce with confidence and support. We currently have over 40 members employed through our program.

Supported Employment
Supported Employment focuses on long-term, paid jobs in competitive settings. Through one-on-one coaching, we:
There are no clinical therapies or treatment-oriented programs here and members participate as they feel ready and according to their individual interest. Members are given access to the best community services available, including affordable and dignified housing, mental and general health services and government disability benefits.
- Match members with roles aligned to their strengths and interests.
- Provide intensive support on-site and gradually fade as confidence and skills grow.
- Help members embrace real-world employment with benefits and autonomy.
Transitional Employment
Transitional Employment is designed as a stepping-stone:
- Short-term, time-limited placements in collaboration with local employer partners.
- Structured to build confidence, work habits, and practical skills.
- Offers members a supportive environment to transition toward independent employment.
