About Clubhouse
Over 350 Teens work together to provide free challenging afterschool and summer activities for over 350 children 120 days each year. These teens have received… The Point of Light Award from President Bush Presidential Voluntary Action Award from President Clinton and numerous National & Local Awards for their outstanding service.
Clubhouse is proud to offer unique services by trained Christian teenagers to elementary at-risk children in the Miami Valley Area since 1988. Few national programs have offered teenagers extensive leadership initiatives, providing them the opportunity to run a free, challenging after-school and summer program for families who cannot afford childcare for their children. Our focus is on developing teenagers to impact their surrounding communities and giving low-income families a quality childcare service.
Teenagers design and implement the project, offering tutoring, faith-based teaching, and recreational activities. They build trusting, ongoing relationships with the children while instilling within them goals, leadership skills, and a commitment to family and education. Clubhouse happens 120 days per year for over 350 children and is run annually by 300 teens and 60 adults. Local schools refer children.

Teen Leadership Development
Clubhouse has four phases of developing teens as role models, leaders and agents of change within their communities.

  1. Small Group Leaders: quarterly training provided by local teachers, counselors and community leaders to teach cutting edge ways to understand and motivate children, enhance their leadership and team building skills. Weekly processing their efforts with the children. Teens must sign an integrity covenant making them accountable for their grades, dating and family relations.
  2. Day Leaders: Teens who lead a day of Clubhouse ensuring that the following are covered materials, preparation of volunteers and schedules. Meeting weekly with an Intern and monthly with the Clubhouse Leadership Director for support and accountability.
  3. Internships: Paid positions to oversee the daily running of a Clubhouse, ensuring goals are being reached by the Clubhouse teens, recruitment of volunteers. Weekly contacts to teens and children's parents in developing relationships and support system. Monthly contacts with local school teachers/counselors.
  4. Teen in Training: As children reach the 6th grade the Clubhouse offers them specialized training to learn more about being a leader, providing community service projects and co-leading a small group of children with a seasoned teen leader. Goal is to cycle children from the program into the small group leadership role as a 7th grader for those who enjoy working with children.
