Shelter Services Manager
Amanda O'Kane
Hello, I’m Amanda OKane. In May of 2022 I became Family Promise of Greater Beloit’s Shelter Services Manager. One of my roles is to provide case management for our guests. I was drawn to Family Promise because of their work with families experiencing homelessness. I enjoy working with all ages of guests, from the tiniest of infants to the seasoned older adult.
I graduated from University of Wisconsin Whitewater in 2017, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Work. During my college career, I served as an intern in a 25-bed homeless shelter where I learned of the homeless response system in Rock County. Shortly after graduation, I was hired at that shelter; first, as Case Manager and later Operations and Volunteer Coordinator.

I've been in the early childhood education field for the past 23 years and have a passion for providing the Rock County community with quality care for the youngest of learners. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and I plan to go for my Master's degree in Early Childhood Administration.
