Sarah André

Development Director

Sarah André, Westbrook, Maine, is the Development Coordinator for Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters. Growing up in the foothills of western Maine, she spent the bulk of her childhood staring at clouds or stars. She credits her love for hiking, running, and cross-country skiing to her formative years “in the middle of nowhere.” While majoring in English at the University of Maine, she found time to explore the Katahdin region and Baxter State Park and study Maine’s diverse natural history. Before accepting this role, Sarah worked in development for The Opportunity Alliance, the community action agency for Cumberland County–supporting work tackling poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and substance use. She brings a commitment to social justice and equity to the Friends, with the belief that wild places should be accessible to all. Sarah serves on the board of the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust, and enjoys gardening, family camping trips, and thick books.
