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 reco

gnized 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 goodbye to our wonderful colleagues! We had a great 2 weeks with colleagues from Fontenehuset Harstad (Storgata, Harstad, Norway), PLAN at Katz Corner (Addison, TX), Katie’s Place Clubhouse (Scranton, PA), and Lotus House (Topeka, KS). These colleagues worked hard to deepen their understanding of the Clubhouse Model and will bring home their new knowledge to improve their Clubhouses. “It went by fast, but on some days it felt like we've been here for months!”
We wish you all good luck!

“ Every house tells the stories of the people and families who live in it.” This week, Genesis Club celebrated the people and the stories who live at 149 Belmont Street in Worcester! Twenty years ago the East Side CDC, the city of Worcester and Genesis Club partnered to revitalise an abandoned, tax- delinquent, three-family house. After four years of hard work and close collaboration, Cheri moved in as the very first tenant. She said at the celebration,” I’ve never felt so comfortable and safe!” More than thirty people have called “The Blue House” home over the last two decades. Here’s to another twenty years of building family and community!
