The Evergreen Club, run by Frontier Behavioral Health, provides social and vocational recovery to adults with mental illness through work and socialization. Members choose one of three units with which to works: café, thrift store or business unit. The members develop meal preparation skills, organizational and budgeting skills, clerical skills, and to participate in and learn administrative tasks. Community Engaged Learning students are needed to help volunteer alongside these workers. Volunteers choose a unit they are interested working in and help support members in their jobs. Students will work side by side with members and staff to promote the Work Ordered Day. Students can plan and facilitate social programs, educational presentations and activities to promote health and wellness. The Evergreen Club is open Monday through Friday 8:30 – 4:30 and Saturday 11-2. Call 509-458-7454 to request a volunteer application.
COVID protocol: Frontier Behavioral Health maintains a ‘Safe Work Plan” that all staff, members and students must adhere to. In compliance with Governor Inslee’s 8/9/21 Proclamation which mandates COVID vaccination for all workers in a healthcare setting, FBH will require all employees, volunteers (including students) and contractors to be fully vaccinated by October 18, 2021, unless the individual is approved for a medical or religious exemption. At this time everyone is required to wear a mask. Medical and religious accommodation request forms are available.
