  • Mission

    Casa de Amparo's mission is to support those affected by and at risk of child abuse and neglect, through a range of programs and services that support healing, growth, and healthy relationships.

    About Us

    Casa de Amparo is a nonprofit organization that serves youth from the ages of 12-25. We have two different programs: a Residential Services Program that serves girls from the ages of 12-18 & a New Directions Transitional Housing Program that serves youth from the ages of 18-25. The Residential girls live in a group home like setting that we call cottages. We offer the youth home cooked meals prepared by our chef on campus, group & individual therapy, along with fun outdoor activities, and so much more. Our New Directions youth get a fully furnished apartment with a Welcome Home Basket introducing them to their new apartment. Our older youth also get group therapy, attend fun outings, & have access to a mobile pantry at our Oceanside location.
