The clubhouse is a place for a member to meet, socialize, learn basic skills, and ready themselves for work. At fountain house members may start with one of the basic units such as the clerical unit.The clerical unit publishes daily and weekly newsletters written by the community. They also prepare bulk mailings, assist the accounting office with book keeping, member banking , accounting and filing. There is also a Horticulture unit where members maintain plants for the clubhouse, a dining room and snack bar where members prepare meals , order food and supplies , and serve meals. Members and staff work side by side in these units.
The ultimate goal of the clubhouse is to find meaningful independent work for the members. Clubhouses use two types of pre- emloyment programs to prepare the member for the work place.
