Join the Club!

The first step is to call our Intake office to schedule a tour in one of the four boroughs we serve: Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, or Staten Island.

In order to begin your application, we will need the following documents:

• Completed Venture House Membership Application
• Copy of annual physical from your Primary Care Physician
• Psychiatric Evaluation with diagnosis
• Psychosocial History (completed by mental health professional)

To access the online application, click here. You can begin the application process online, but it must be completed in-person at your chosen location.

Once our Intake staff has processed your application, you will receive a phone call to schedule your orientation.

New members will attend the Clubhouse for two days (typically Monday & Tuesday) from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. They will participate in two of the five Clubhouse units during those days, and enjoy a complimentary lunch. After the orientation, new members will choose a unit staff to assist with personal goals, such as career, education, housing, and benefits.

No, however, a psychiatric evaluation must be provided by an authorized practitioner prior to becoming a member.

No, members are expected to arrange their own transportation services.
