Our Staff

Coming together from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, our skilled team of professionals are the backbone of Serenity House Oakland. 60% of Staff pride themselves on having gone through the Recovery Process themselves and joined the organization as staff. Their ideas help shape the direction and mission of our organization as it continues to develop.
