Project Title: Casa Kids Campus – Residential Services for Foster Youth
Project Description:

The mission of Casa de Amparo is to support those affected by and at risk of child abuse and neglect, through a range of programs and services that promote healing, growth, and healthy relationships. Since 1978, Casa de Amparo has been an exemplary provider in the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect in San Diego County. Our main campus in San Marcos, California is known as the Casa Kids Campus.

Funds will be used to support Casa de Amparo’s Residential Program that provides intensive therapeutic treatment services in welcoming, home-like cottages to foster youths who have been removed from their home due to abuse and neglect. Casa Kids Campus serves youth ages 12 through 18 years old, including children with special needs, pregnant and parenting foster girls, and their infants. Care is provided 24/7, including medical and dental care, transportation to appointments, individual and group therapy, tutoring/educational support, evidence-based parenting curriculum for young mothers, life skills workshops, nutritious meals, supervised family visitation, and recreational and therapeutic activities such as art classes, field trips, and holiday celebrations.

Casa Kids Campus offers a safe home environment where children can rest, receive comprehensive support from caring adults, and simply “be a kid.” For some, Casa Kids Campus is the first place where they can fall asleep at night knowing they are completely safe. It is a place where children who had previously been neglected can finally connect with joyful childhood experiences and begin to process their experiences and feelings in a way that feels safe for them and take their first steps toward healing.

By providing caring, trauma-informed support, our goal is to help children break the cycle of family violence and improve opportunities for a healthier future.
