Grand Avenue Club (GAC) offers adults who experience mental illness an array of opportunities 365 days a year. Program participants are “members” of a community with a place to come, meaningful work, and meaningful relationships. GAC members work alongside a small but dedicated staff to actually run GAC and are involved in every aspect of the work.
Grand Avenue Club is a nonprofit organization that provides people who experience mental illness with opportunities for paid work, finding adequate housing, education, recreation, friendship, and helping members integrate into the broader community. The GAC is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based organization run by members and staff working together as partners. GAC established a uniquely successful Transitional Employment program and the only Supported Education Program in Milwaukee specifically for young adults with educational aspirations. GAC values and encourages members' talents, interests, and abilities. This includes but is not limited to art work of many types/styles (many for seen during frequent Art exhibitions and in our facebook photo albums, many for sale). GAC is a member of the International Center for Clubhouse Development (ICCD), the accrediting and training center for all Standards-based clubhouse communities.
