Hope Harbor A haven of hope for teens. Hope Harbor began as an emergency crisis shelter for teen runaways.

Hope Harbor, formerly known as Laurel House, was founded in 1985 by two women who were distraught at the sight of teenagers living on the streets of Orange County, California. Through the years, Hope Harbor has evolved into a unique, preventive-care program providing temporary housing (12-18 months), mental health care, academic support, and all basic necessities to at-risk, homeless, or runaway teens in Orange County. More than just temporary relief, Hope Harbor not only stabilizes these teens but brings restoration to the entire family unit before their teen ends up on the streets or becomes a ward of the court system. In 2020, due to the growing need, Hope Harbor opened Rip Tide, a second shelter home for at-risk, runaway, and homeless teen boys. Following the same successful model of the Girls Home, Rip Tide doubles our impact in the community.

Today is Back to the Future Day!

While we don't have a time-traveling car, we do have some history to celebrate. This throwback photo is of Elinor Tompkins and Nadene Holub, founders of Laurel House — known today as Hope Harbor! We are so grateful for their hearts and dedication to teens in crisis. That legacy of compassion lives on through the futures changed every day at Sea Glass Girls Home and Rip Tide Boys Home.

Aaron, one of our Rip Tide guys, did a reading from the Book of Revelation for Mariners Church at OC Rescue Mission! All the Mariners campuses have begun a study of Revelation and read through the entire book together before it started. We're so proud of Aaron — he did a great job!

A trip to Build-a-Bear can be fun at any age! Our girls went on an outing and got to spend time with their honorary little sister, the daughter of one of our wonderful respite parents.
