The clubhouse model was conceived over 50 years ago, by Fountain house in New York City as a community of people with disabilities and staff working side- by-side in the running of their club house. The program is first and Foremost a club with rights of their membership, balanced by member responsibilities. Members are expected to run their clubhouse by taking on essential tasks. When the clubhouse is doing well, credit must be given to the membership upon whom the clubhouse is dependent for its survival. A clubhouse sends clear message to its members that they are capable competent, and needed. Work, as a volunteer service within the clubhouse, is the focus of Integrity House.
