Our Program
Creswell Clubhouse is a local nonprofit Youth Development Program which provides youth services and programs in Creswell. This program belongs to the children we serve, our families and the community of Creswell. At Clubhouse we put children first. We keep costs low while providing the highest quality Youth Development Program. Children at Clubhouse are given the opportunity to fill their out of school time with positive, educational, and rewarding programs and friendships. We provide the children in the community of Creswell the opportunity to participate in classes, clubs and activities not otherwise available and provide group and individual tutoring and homework assistance. Our focus is education by supplementing the school day with enriching and engaging programs.
Our Mission
Creswell Clubhouse is designed to provide young people with a safe and healthy place to practice reading skills, receive help with homework, utilize computer resources and participate in educationally enriching activities after school. We strive to build stronger physical, intellectual and emotional support systems for students while fostering responsible choice making.
Program Model
Young people at Creslane Elementary are offered a Youth Development Program which includes homework help, individual tutoring, reading time, social skills and leadership development, service learning opportunities, fine arts, recreation, performance arts, science, conflict resolution, leadership skills development and a wide variety of educationally enriching activities. Children have the opportunity to take the lead in service learning projects and planning and organization of club special activities. Research states young people involved in service learning projects gain many skills and have strengthened self-esteem and belief in their ability to complete meaningful projects for their community. Our “Brain Zone” Homework Club provides a structured time to receive homework assistance from Clubhouse University of Oregon Program Leaders and Tutors, volunteers and peers. Youth celebrate their hard work during the Brain Zone Homework Club through earning “Clubhouse Bucks” which are used for purchasing prizes at our Clubhouse “store”. Reading takes place 20 minutes per day. We also offer many opportunities for children to participate in large motor activities which instill a healthy, active lifestyle that includes exercise and physical recreation.
Everyone attends at least one Brain Zone session per day and two educationally enriching clubs of their choice. Each child will be given the opportunity to choose which educational enrichment clubs they wish to sign up for. Educational enrichment clubs are designed to offer children opportunities to explore their interests and passions while improving their self esteem and responsible choice making.
Enrichment Clubs
We attempt to offer a wide variety of enrichment clubs. Below is a general list of clubs which may be offered throughout the year. We sign up for new clubs four times per year.
