Noah Warren
Noah comes to us with over 12 years’ experience in behavioral health, social services and nonprofit administration. He has worked in multiple treatment settings in the capacity of direct service, program administration, fund development, Board consultation and strategic planning. Noah earned his Bachelors Degrees in Psychology and Sociology from the University of California, Davis in 2005 and has since worked with youth and adults who are struggling with addition and mental health. His passion for working with young people —which has sustained for over a decade—stems from his experience running a 51-bed adolescent residential treatment program in Southern California for several years.
As the residential director of Pacific Lodge Youth Services, Noah gained invaluable experience and knowledge in how to successfully execute a treatment program for some of the most challenging populations, using compassion, innovation and tenacity. Over his 8 year tenure, from youth counselor to director, came experience with systems of care, program administration, licensing, County- and State-level infrastructure, and the development and tracking of contracts, grants and outcomes. Noah left Pacific Lodge in 2014 so that he could take this wealth of information to other nonprofits and small businesses as a consultant.
Since then, Noah has worked with dozens of organizations, helping them develop resources and secure funding for programs, and recently opened Roots Through Recovery—an outpatient treatment center in Long Beach, California—where he is currently the Chief Program Development Officer. Noah has been assisting Peace-It-Together in writing grants and helping to develop the organization’s strategic focus and direction since 2015. He joined the Board of Directors in 2017.
