Our Team

Rich Garrett knows first-hand the power of human connections. As a young child with speech delays, he relied on his six siblings to make himself understood. His interest in human connections led to a bachelor’s degree in psychology and certifications in mediation, mediation training, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

He has served as Dean of Students at Williams Trade School in Media, PA, and as Executive Director of a community dispute settlement program and a nonprofit that offered school-based services to children. Since becoming CBH’s third Executive Director in 2003, he has worked to make the Positive Youth Development Theory the centerpiece of CBH’s work. He has loved seeing the programs change and seeing their dramatic impact on kids’ lives, thanks to the long-term relationships they forge with one another and with CBH programs and staff.
