Our Story

For 45 years, Independence Center has stood alongside members of our St. Louis community living with serious mental illness, offering not just a full range of supports, but belonging and purpose. Built on the Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation, IC connects members to employment, housing, education, health and wellness, and a community that allows them to build truly independent lives. Our Clubhouse is the second largest in the world and exists to fulfill a desire that is fundamental to us all: to be needed, wanted, and expected. 

The Dancing Legacy

Dancing with the St. Louis Stars makes our work possible. For 20 years, Dancing has rallied the St. Louis community around a cause that changes lives, bringing together local executives, corporate partners, and community advocates for an unforgettable evening of competition, connection, and impact. As IC's signature event and single largest fundraiser of the year, 2027 is our moment to celebrate what 20 years have built and the lives you have transformed. Your sponsorship is what makes it happen.
