The Clubhouse serves anywhere from 20 to 30 youth each weeknight. The youth of Nome benefit from building healthy social connections.
The Clubhouse is open Monday through Friday for youth ages seven to 18 years of age. Regular activities include Power Hour (homework tutoring), S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), arts and crafts, field trips, Triple Play, cultural activities, Native Youth Olympics, reading improvement programs, and more!

Registration is required for participation in the program. There is no charge to become a clubhouse member. Nutritious snacks are offered to all youth under the age of 18 as part of the health and nutrition program to combat youth obesity, promote physical activity and improved academic performance.
Our Clubhouse responds to the current need in the community to provide safe out-of-school activities for younger children. Outreach to teens has been challenging since the pandemic when youth were offered unlimited use of screen time, eSports and other technology driven activities.
