Empowering Abilities. Honoring Service. Building Brighter Futures.
Connie’s Clubhouse is more than a program—it’s a movement for inclusion, empowerment, and community transformation. We are a female and disabled veteran-owned nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual, developmental, and mental health disabilities, as well as veterans transitioning from military to civilian life.
���� Our Mission
To provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where people of all abilities can develop life skills, build meaningful connections, and gain the tools they need to live independently and thrive.
���� Veteran Owned. Community Driven.
Founded and operated by a disabled Marine Corps veteran, Connie’s Clubhouse was built from a place of lived experience, compassion, and service. We understand the importance of purpose, community, and accessible opportunities—especially for those who often go unseen.
Our programs are designed to meet individuals where they are—offering structured support through skill-building, social interaction, and emotional growth. We proudly serve a diverse community of adults with disabilities and veterans seeking a new chapter of empowerment.
💚 Giving Back
We believe in strengthening the community from the inside out.
Through our outreach initiatives—including food and clothing drives, workshops, and inclusive events—we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of everyone we touch.
Whether you’re an investor, sponsor, family member, or community advocate—there’s a place for you at Connie’s Clubhouse.
Let’s build a future where every person is seen, supported, and celebrated.

Hello everyone! I’m Taylor Hines
Founder & Program Director of Connie’s Clubhouse!
I’m originally from Vernal, Utah, but spent much of my adult life in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology.
With a strong calling to serve, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and proudly completed an eight-year contract. During that time, I also earned my Master’s degree in Psychology, deepening my understanding of human behavior and development.
While stationed in Hawaii, I began a new chapter—getting married and starting my family. After transitioning out of active duty, I found my passion in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This path taught me the core of behavior programming and how to develop strategies that truly meet the needs of each individual.
Over the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working across various roles in the mental and behavioral health field. I’ve developed and implemented programs that support growth, promote independence, and empower individuals to live their lives with confidence and purpose.
Connie’s Clubhouse is a direct reflection of my mission: to empower individuals with the tools, skills, and support they need to thrive. I am passionate about building inclusive environments where everyone—regardless of ability—can grow, connect, and succeed.
