Dear Friends of The Clubhouse,

What a year was 2018! We celebrated 25 years of global youth impact, moved to a beautiful new home in the heart of Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, and expanded our Clubhouse-to-Career Pathways initiative around the country. We also opened twelve new Clubhouses and Teen Tech Centers, with many more on the horizon. And we expanded the Clubhouse Catalyst initiative, sharing our unique Clubhouse learning model with educators in other educational settings.

In 2018 we also held our 9th biennial Teen Summit for global teen leaders – a life-changing experience for Clubhouse teens who have never been away from home, let alone spend a week on a college campus building skills with others from around the world.

We’ve been able to accomplish all these things thanks to the many companies, foundations, government agencies, and individuals who support The Clubhouse Network’s mission.

With your continued help, we’re positioned for a future that’s strong, and bright. Thanks to everyone in our Clubhouse community— donors, community partners, Board members, volunteers, and staff -- for helping to support our next 25 years of growth and impact around the world.

““Teen Summit changed my life and the lives of the other teens I met there. I learned so many creative new skills including coding,

video editing, music production and more! I also pushed myself out of my comfort zone when I was asked and agreed to host the

talent show - a chance for the teens to share their skills with everyone at Teen Summit.

The experience was AMAZING!!!!!!”

““I became a mentor because of my gratitude. During my time as a Clubhouse member, my

coordinator and mentors encouraged me to continue asking questions and brought

me out of my shell. If it weren’t for this program, I wouldn’t have met all the people that encouraged me to do what I love, which is learning. My favorite part of mentoring is seeing how everyone is positively impacted. I know the difference this program made to

me and my family.”

She joined the Clubhouse in 6th grade and at age 14 attended Teen Summit, where she learned new skills and made friends from around the world.
