CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Renewal House employs a staff that is diverse in education and life experience. Clinical and administrative staff teams demonstrate a shared commitment to the success of the agency and our clients. We each take pride in our work and support the women and children we serve in building a brighter future. Renewal House residential program staff members are on-campus and available to assist resident families 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Renewal House also benefits from the energy, creativity and commitment of numerous volunteers who assist with special events, present educational programs for clients or staff, provide office support or help with maintaining and refreshing the facilities and grounds. Often former clients who have completed our programs volunteer to share their stories of success in recovery with current clients. |
