Kelly Hawkins

My name is Kelly and I am a family advocate here at FPWC. I graduated from St. Norbert College in 2019 and have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a Human Services concentration and a Spanish minor. I’ve worked a variety of jobs in the services fields including, ABA therapy, teaching , and advocacy. Prior to working at FPWC I worked as a bilingual family advocate for the head start program at a hispanic community center in Milwaukee. 

 

I joined FPWC as a family advocate in 2022 when I decided to dedicate my work to advocacy for families experiencing, or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Throughout my career I have encountered families experiencing homelessness and I was struck by the lack of resources and care available to these families. I accepted my position at FPWC to work with families in the county that I grew up in, and to support families in our community to escape or avoid homelessness and reach their full potential.

 

I am passionate about social justice. I passionately support for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. I passionately promote ending the stigmas surrounding mental health, and creating an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community. In my free time I love to spend my time outdoors, read, or spend time with my loved ones.
