Up N Out Social Club of America is an inclusive social and recreational community for individuals with disabilities, traumatic brain injury (TBI), assisted living residents, and their caregivers.
Founded by Marian Mejia Alvarez and developed in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Andre Ignacio, Up N Out was created to combat social isolation and restore joy through meaningful connection.
Our neuro rehabilitation program headed by Dr. Daniel Andre Ignacio focuses on reintegration to the community while combining socialization and adaptive learning through brain and sensory activities to improve cognitive function and overall social, mental and physical well being.
We work in partnership with our community partners such as St Jude Brain Injury Network, Jodi House, High Hopes, Ryan’s Reach, Special Strong Orange County, Cinemark Orange County, Optimize Mobile PT, Zumba Gold, Crunch Fitness, Tustin Fitness, Newport Outrigger Canoe Club, as well as various community restaurants to create a well rounded and quality of life that is productive, socially engaging, and a physically active lifestyle.
We offer flexible, member-driven activities—ranging from adaptive fitness and community outings to faith journaling, movie nights, nature walks, and adaptive outrigger paddling—so every individual can participate when, how, and as often as they choose.
Our mission is simple:
Help people get out of isolation, into community, and back to enjoying life.
