Clubhouse-to-College/Clubhouse-to-Career (C2C) was developed to support Clubhouse Members in planning for the future and realizing their potential.
By leveraging the technology skills and experience they gain at The Clubhouse, young people gain the skills and knowledge needed to take an active role in ensuring their own success.
