Thanks to our generous donors, our beautiful two-story building is almost complete!  But because construction costs increased during the pandemic, we now need funding for a specialized kitchen, IT equipment plus furnishings.

Please donate so our members with serious mental illness will always have a space where they are truly welcomed and always belong.

 

What our new Clubhouse will house…

The construction started for our new, fully accessible, multi-cultural, state-of-the-art Clubhouse in 2021. Some of the features will include:

  • A 9,125 square foot space over two floors
  • A greenhouse and garden
  • An environmentally friendly building that reflects the unique character of Club Nova and Carrboro
  • A stargazer terrace
  • A 70-person dining room
  • Ample functional space for study and employment preparation
  • A full commercial kitchen

Remember where we were?

Our buildings, at 103 West Main, in Carrboro, were in terrible condition, and included two buildings with:

  • Crumbling foundations
  • Leaking roofs
  • Dangerous staircases
  • Inadequate heating and air-conditioning
  • Limited accessible space
  • Overcrowded areas for study and job preparation
  • A kitchen that can’t fit our culinary work
  • Large, ongoing maintenance issues
  • Many, many more problems

OUR PROGRAMS SIMPLY COULD NOT FULLY FUNCTION

We are a community, but we have had no place to meet as a whole community.

Yet, the demand for our services is growing

As a UNC Hospital Emergency Department representative states: “Club Nova is a great program which helps many of our patients lead positive productive lives. As you mentioned, our volume of behavioral health patients has skyrocketed over the last two years with no sign of a plateau.”

For people discharged from the hospital, there is no place else to go where they are guaranteed:

  • A right to a place to come
  • A right to meaningful relationships
  • A right to meaningful work
  • A right to a place to return

Help us meet the needs of our amazing members today, and the new members in the future.

“Club Nova has been a life saver for me since joining in 2018. I was homeless and unemployed when I came to Club Nova. Being with Club Nova, I have found a safe and affordable home, work part-time, and been awarded the Sidney Baer scholarship to go back to college to pursue being a paralegal. Our new Career Center space, and updated IT equipment will enable myself and others the opportunity to pursue educational and vocational goals.  We have needed this for so long and I cannot wait!”
