✨ Leadership Announcement ✨
Advent Group Ministries (AGM) is proud to announce the appointment of Deryk Clark as our new Executive Director. As AGM expands critical mental-health counseling, recovery, and behavioral-health services for youth, adults, and families across Santa Clara County, Deryk’s leadership arrives at a pivotal moment for our community.
With more than 30 years of nonprofit experience, Deryk has dedicated his career to supporting individuals and families impacted by mental-health challenges, trauma, substance-use disorders, and housing instability. He currently serves as a Santa Clara County Juvenile Justice Commissioner and holds leadership roles with several local organizations advancing equity, education, and opportunity for youth and families.
“Every person deserves the chance to thrive with dignity and purpose,” said Deryk. “I’m honored to lead AGM as we strengthen behavioral-health supports, expand recovery programs, and build partnerships that help our community heal and grow.”
Under Deryk’s leadership, AGM will focus on expanding access to mental-health care, strengthening community partnerships, and developing culturally responsive, youth-centered programs that amplify the voices of those we serve.
We’re excited for this next chapter of impact and growth. 💙
