Jason Gill is the Men’s Program Director at Covenant Hills, where he brings a rare combination of personal experience, professional training, and passionate leadership to every part of the recovery process. His journey with Covenant Hills started on Christmas Day 2021—not as an employee, but as someone determined to change his life. Since then, he has climbed the ranks within the organization, proving himself in every role along the way.
Jason began as a Resident Manager at our Men’s Residential program and also served as a live-in House Manager at our IOP housing facility. He was promoted to Case Manager in early 2023, where he worked one-on-one with over 200 clients and their families, walking with them through the hard work of healing and transformation. In April 2025, he took on the role of Program Director, where he now leads the men’s program with heart, vision, and a commitment to keeping Covenant Hills a place where change is real and recovery is sustainable.
Even in leadership, Jason stays closely connected to the men we serve—carrying an individual caseload, facilitating groups, and remaining a daily presence on campus. He sees his role not only as a director but as a living example of what’s possible when someone surrenders to the process and does the work. His groups cover a wide range of recovery topics, always anchored in accountability, honesty, and faith. He also serves as a spiritual example, showing what it can look like to live as a Christian man in recovery with integrity, strength, and grace.
Jason is a U.S. Navy veteran, where he learned the values of leadership, discipline, and service—skills that now shape his approach to clinical leadership and client care. He takes pride in making sure the men’s program is not only effective and compliant, but also a great place to work and a life-giving place to heal.
Educationally, Jason completed his Alcohol and Drug Studies Certificate from Saddleback College with a 4.0 GPA in Fall 2024 and achieved his CADC-I certification in April 2025. He’s on track to graduate with his Associate Degree in Human Services in Fall 2025 and plans to continue into a bachelor’s program shortly after.
He’s also four years sober as of April 13, 2025—a milestone that continues to ground his work in empathy and authenticity. As someone who’s been in the exact seat his clients now occupy, Jason leads with both experience and compassion. He knows what it feels like to start over, and he knows how to walk others through it.
What drives Jason most is simple: helping people transform their lives, reconnect with their higher power, and become the best version of themselves. He doesn’t just believe in recovery—he lives it every day.
