2006 New Alternatives Campaign

The associates of AimLoan.com are pleased to report a successful 4th Quarter 2006 Community Involvement Website Campaign which resulted in a contribution of $8,820 to New Alternatives, a San Diego-based non profit organization.

New Alternatives was founded in 1978 with a mission of providing culturally competent and family focused services to child victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. The population served by this agency are some of San Diego and Orange Counties’ most vulnerable children. These victims frequently suffer from a variety of emotional and psychological disorders due to family histories of child abuse, substance abuse, family violence and mental illness. With treatment, many of these children will be able to break generational cycles of child abuse, substance abuse, family violence, homelessness and poverty.

The core of the New Alternative system consists of residential treatment settings that range in size from 6 to 48 beds. Programs are developed in response to community needs for specialized services for at risk children and adolescents. All programs provide their services within the Agency philosophy that "children have a right to grow and develop as happy, successful and contributing individuals."

In addition to the core of residential treatment programs, New Alternatives has developed a continuum of care that includes in-home prevention services, mental health programs, school-based services, a wide variety of residential programs, and foster care.
