PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Bryan House has joined 18 Degrees, Family Services for Western MA, as the Vice President of Youth Development.
In this role, House will lead Pittsfield Community Connection and North Adams’ West Main Connection. Additionally, he will oversee other programs within the agency that provide support and services for youth that provide opportunities for young people to reach their full potential.
House previously worked at the Berkshire District Attorney Office. House was also the former Deputy Director at Berkshire Community Action Council (BCAC).
"Bryan significantly advanced the Berkshire District Attorney Office's mission to empower our community's future leaders," said District Attorney Andrea Harrington on House's departure. "He led our efforts to raise the voices of the most vulnerable community members, expand relationships with our diversion program's youth service partners, and build a culture of inclusivity in Berkshire County high schools. I am excited he will continue those efforts with our partners at 18 Degrees, which shares the same vision and hope for the next generation.”
Prior to the Deputy Director role, House directed the agency’s Project RECONNECT program, serving Berkshire youth and young adults with job skill and development training, and holistic mentoring. House also played seven years as a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs and Texas Ranger organizations, and he is a member of several community boards of directors. House lives with his family in Housatonic, where he also coaches his son’s baseball team, and can sometimes be found playing music in local establishments.
"We are thrilled to welcome Bryan to 18 Degrees with his wealth of experience working with young people and his deep connections to this community." As we look to advance our work with young people, we are confident that Bryan will provide a framework for his team that connects young people to their community and adult mentors, as well as provides a platform to bring their voices to the forefront in our social justice efforts."
