Grand Avenue Club Inc.

Grand Avenue Club is open to members, adults who have experienced mental illness, from 8:30AM-4:30PM Monday through Friday, 12:00PM-3:00PM Saturdays and Holidays, and 4:30PM-6:30PM for recreation on Wednesday evenings.

As members and staff run the Clubhouse together, members are able to strengthen soft skills, develop their strengths, talents, and abilities, and build strong, supportive, work-mediated relationships. Together members and staff publish newsletters and media outreach, data entry, filing, writing, scanning, faxing, prepare and serve meals, maintain a lending library, manage Clubhouse finances, operate an on-site Boutique, and maintain our historic building.

One in four adults will have some form of mental illness in their lifetime, that's nearly 15,000 people in Milwaukee County who have experienced mental illness. They are our fellow citizens, co-workers, neighbors, and family members.

Grand Avenue Club is a vital community offering respect, hope, and opportunity to hundreds of people who struggle with mental illness. Grand Avenue Club helps its members secure work, find suitable housing, go to school, have a place to celebrate holidays, and experience a sense of community by connecting with others. Working with quality employers, the Clubhouse develops jobs for members in the Transitional, Supported, and Independent Employment Programs.
