Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to study the role of the modern club in the context of the reform of local self- government (on the example of Western Polissya).

Scientific novelty is to find out the qualitative characteristics of the staffing of the club field, in particular its educational level, as well as to compare these data with the educational attributes of employees of other institutions (music or excellent art schools, art schools) of the culture field, clarifying the role of local authorities in finding ways to break out of the crisis and to establish contacts with regional educational institutions in ensuring the human resources potential of the industry during the reform of local self-government bodies.
