Vista Ranch

Finding a New Pathway Forward Together

Our Approach

Vista Ranch, a 5 acre campus just outside of San Diego, opened its doors in 1991. It provides a structured, teaching environment for 60 parolees in San Diego County, providing them with substance abuse and wrap-around reentry services. At Vista, Amity celebrates growth milestones alongside students, facilitates family reunification, and creates opportunities to strengthen the authentic relationships essential to lasting recovery and successful reentry.

Amity Foundation has built a long-standing partnership with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), that is integral to our focus on placing people at the center of the justice system. Our MCRP and FCRP campuses reflect CDCR’s commitment to investing in proven alternatives to incarceration, and the steps we are taking together to advance rehabilitation, accountability, and safer, healthier communities.

Why It Matters

“My time at Amity Vista Ranch has allowed me great insight into who I was, who I am and who I will be. These tenet’s of transformation have brought me closer to a life free from the pain of my past. I am no longer a product of the system but a member of society. Amity has shown me a way to have profound effects on my surroundings by providing a tender passion to my daily interactions. I gather with good intent with every hand I shake and every life I touch. The Amity Foundation fosters a sustainable approach to recovery that involves community as well as individual well being. I am proud to know peace through sobriety.”
