Clubhouse Units

All “standards-based” Clubhouses are organized into units. At the Escondido Clubhouse, we currently have two units for members to choose from, the Gray Unit and the Blue Unit.

Each of these units has significant and varied work opportunities. Each has its own staff and responsibilities for helping to keep the Clubhouse running smoothly. Members choose their unit based solely on their interests and preferences. The unit serves as a “home base,” and members are encouraged to check in with a unit every time they visit the Clubhouse.

At the Escondido Clubhouse, we have two unit meetings every day. The first one takes place at 10:00 a.m., and the afternoon meeting takes place at 1:00 p.m.

The unit meeting is crucial to the unit's functioning.

During this meeting, staff and members discuss the work that needs to be done for that day, determine who is doing it, prioritize tasks, track projects, plan and establish goals for the unit, and check in with each other.
