A YEAR OF GRATITUDEThe Clubhouse Network’s2019 Annual Report
The Clubhouse Network: Where Technology Meets Imagination was
founded in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab.
““The Clubhouse has helped me to stay on the right track because
of the incredible opportunities I have been given, such as
attending the Teen Summit 2010 in Boston and having the honor to
meet Clubhouse
co-founder Mitchel Resnick at the MIT Media Lab, who shared his
knowledge with me. By pushing me further, he assured me I could
continue on this path. I won a C2C STEAM
scholarship in 2011, which gave me the opportunity to master my
leadership skills.”
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
Izzeldeen Manasra is an alum of e-Village Innovation Lab
Clubhouse and an engineer. Using his expertise in robotics and
engineering, he has gone on to design and build special robots for
snow blowing and firefighting. Izzeldeen has also returned to the
Clubhouse as a mentor, focusing on robotics.

““The Clubhouse has been a valuable opportunity for my children
to learn new technology as well as important values and
soft skills. The influence of the Clubhouse has been immensely
positive. Learning has been invaluable and my children have
continued to progress with every challenge they have
encountered. The Clubhouse is a great opportunity for them to
grow and learn
about technology in a unique way.”

““Giving back is the biggest thing for me, allowing me to share
the knowledge I’ve gained not just from The Clubhouse itself,
but from the experiences of my life. The Clubhouse has helped me
in my journey with photography and video, and with the ability to
network. I keep coming back because of
the people who are there.”

Dear Friends of The Clubhouse,
2019 was a year of accomplishments! We were honored to receive
the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and
Engineering Mentoring, the nation’s highest honor in STEM
mentoring. This award pays tribute to the thousands of youth and
mentors who have come together over the past 27 years to explore
their own ideas, develop skills, and build confidence in themselves
through technology.
But the year wasn’t just about winning awards. We opened 14 new
Best Buy Teen Tech Centers and Clubhouses, including our first in
Japan, and expanded our Career Pathways to Success initiative
across the United States. And we invested deeply in the
professional development of Clubhouse staff around the world,
through a global conference and regional workshops.
It is with tremendous thanks to everyone in the Clubhouse
community— donors, community partners, Board members, volunteers,
staff, alumni, and youth — that we were able to strengthen our
impact around the world.
In a world battling a global pandemic, a growing wealth gap, and
systemic racism, your continued support is more important than
ever. Visit theclubhousenetwork.org or connect with us on social
media to help us meet our mission.
With Gratitude,

Thank you for your support!
The Clubhouse mission is to provide a creative and safe
out-of-school learning environment where young people from
underserved communities work with adult mentors to explore their
own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves
through the use of technology. In support of that mission, The
Clubhouse Network supports community-based Clubhouses around the
world by providing start-up support, professional development, new
technology innovations, evaluation and assessment, partnership
opportunities, and access to an online community for youth,
mentors, and staff.
