Since opening our doors in 2003, over 15,000 youth have passed through them, drawn to a safe and supportive environment that allows them to express themselves creatively. The goal of our Enrichment Program is to provide a creative, accepting environment that encourages our members to imagine creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively in order to learn continuously! As life-long learners, our staff facilitate this approach and apply these principles daily as they model curiosity, flexibility and perseverance.  

The Clubhouse research based learning model is designed to empower youth from all backgrounds to become more capable, creative and confident learners.  This approach leverages new technologies to support new types of learning experiences and engage young people who have been alienated by traditional educational approaches, which establishes the culture of our Clubhouse and Catalyst programming. Our Clubhouse is at once an artist studio, inventor’s workshop, design house, hackerspace, music studio, and computer game development lab. With the encouraging support of staff members and volunteer mentors, youth unleash their talents, engage in peer-to-peer learning, and develop a unique voice of their own. In the process they become inspired about learning and about their own futures.

Gold Crown Enrichment is proud to be a member of The Clubhouse Network: Where Technology Meets Imagination, and to host two Gold Crown Clubhouse after school programs; Best Buy Teen Tech Center at Gold Crown Field House and the Gold Crown Clubhouse at Edgewater. The Clubhouse mission is to provide a creative and safe out-of-school learning environment where youth ages 12-18 work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology.  

The Clubhouse Network is a global community of more than 100 Clubhouses in 20 countries, providing 25,000 youth per year with access to resources, skills, and experiences to help them succeed in their careers, contribute to their communities and lead outstanding lives.
