WITH MORE THAN 100 CLUBHOUSES IN 20 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, The Clubhouse Network believes deeply in the importance of professional development for staff, and therefore organizes an Annual Conference for the Clubhouse Community to come together, build skills, share ideas, reflect on experiences, and plan for the future. Over 150 Clubhouse staff, directors, and partners from academia, research, government, and the corporate sector typically attend.

Founded nearly 30 years ago, The Clubhouse Network is now an international community of 100+ Clubhouses in 20 countries where young people from low-income communities become more creative, capable, and confident learners by exploring, experimenting, and expressing themselves with technology. Each Clubhouse provides a safe and free out-of-school learning environment where young people work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology.
