MEET THE Team
Audrea Woll
Executive Director
I am a mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome step son. I spent much of my youth making all the wrong choices and took many rough paths to get where I am today. During my journeys I found myself homeless with my girls. I took them down a long, hard road, but I do not regret any of my past. It made me who I am today, willing to fight to help others break the chains and cycles of poverty.
I started college as an eighth-grade dropout and earned my first degree while fighting homelessness. I graduated from Skagit Valley College with an Associate of Technical Arts degree in Human Services (with an emphasis on Chemical Dependency). While there, I was vice president of Leadership for the Honor Society, a liaison for the Human Service Club. I was peer mentor at Friendship House and was recognized by Governor Jay Inslee at the All-Washington Academic Team. This came with a scholarship that allowed me to pursue my BA degree in Human Services with a focus on Law and Social Justice at WWU. During that time, I maintained employment as a Disability Specialist for SVC and WWU. I hope to begin the pursuit of my Masters in Non-profit Administration and Leadership on a part-time basis sometime next year.
I started at Family Promise a little over three years ago as a Program Coordinator for Christ the King Skagit, and later was asked to come on as an intern to create the legal documents for our first Transitional House (Promise House). I am so grateful for and feel called to the mission of Family Promise. I know that the path out of homelessness is not an easy one, but I feel that my fight has led me to this place, serving children like my own, who never asked to be homeless.
