Through the Clubhouse Network’s unique group mentoring program, Clubhouse Mentors join a community of young people and adults who create, invent, and explore together using the latest in technology.
Clubhouse Mentors spend time weekly at The Clubhouse, where they collaborate, build community, and use technology for creative self-expression. In the Clubhouse, young people are encouraged to follow their own interests and Mentors are there to support them through that process. Mentors do not teach classes, but rather become mutual learners.
