Overview

Located on Main Street across from the Pie Lab in the former Western Auto Building and launched in 2012, the Horseshoe Farm Community Clubhouse is the hub of many of Project Horseshoe Farm’s service and other activities.

During the day, the Clubhouse serves as a safe and welcoming place with programs and activities for the many elderly and mentally disabled members of our community including the women living in the Horseshoe Farm enhanced independent living housing program. The Clubhouse day programs are intended to help overcome the significant isolation and lack of purpose and meaning that often faces elderly and mentally disabled members of our community and to provide a place where community members can come together to help and support one another in helping these members of our community.

In the afternoons, the Clubhouse shifts its focus to providing tutoring, mentoring, and activities programs for children in our community. Again, we invite community volunteers to join us to help provide constructive programming and activities to build the character and improve the academic achievement of children in our community. The 826 Valencia Project provided some of the inspiration for the after school component of the Community Clubhouse.

Finally, the Clubhouse is the central gathering place for Horseshoe Farm Fellows. It serves as the administrative office for Project Horseshoe Farm, a gateway for community volunteers, and a site for seminars and discussions, weekly movies, and various other Horseshoe Farm gatherings and events.
