About this Opportunity

Are you passionate about mental health and giving back to your community? We have an amazing opportunity as we are looking to expand our Board of Directors! We are looking for dedicated individuals to serve on our Board of Directors at HERO House NW.

HERO House NW is the administrative and advocating body for three clubhouses in Washington State.

We formed becauseof the clear need to develop more clubhouses in the state. Using economies ofscale, we have been able to set the stage for our vision of a Washington State where clubhouse communitiesnot only survive but thrive.

HERO House NWs Clubhouses are the What now? for individuals who have become lost in the mental health system, for people whose current treatment has become stagnant, and for those who have found great success in clinical treatment of their illness but are left isolated, unemployed, and hopeless.
