About Us

Say no to isolation and say yes to socialization!

Community. Friendship. Belonging.

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 M. 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.


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.


👉 Friendships start here.

Social Support for Brain Injury Recovery

Up N Out Social Club of America provides social and recreational support for individuals living with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurological conditions.


Recovery does not stop with therapy—it continues through connection, routine, and community. Up N Out bridges the gap between clinical care and real life by offering structured yet flexible social opportunities that promote:


    •    Emotional well-being

    •    Cognitive engagement

    •    Confidence and independence

    •    Peer connection with others who understand


Members choose activities based on their energy level, interests, and schedules—whether that’s a group fitness class, a movie outing, a brain injury support meetup, or a relaxed social lunch.


We believe healing happens best together, one meaningful moment at a time.

Faith, Fellowship & Hope in Community

Up N Out Social Club of America is built on compassion, service, and the belief that every life has value and purpose.


Our faith-based approach centers on love, dignity, gratitude, and community—welcoming individuals of all abilities to experience joy, friendship, and belonging.


Through gentle social engagement, faith journaling, prayerful reflection, and supportive group activities, members are encouraged to rediscover hope, embrace their journey, and enjoy life again—right where they are.


We believe that when people are surrounded by kindness, encouragement, and genuine fellowship, healing of the heart begins.
