The organization provides education and outreach to the communities in which we live. Honoree Pamela Yelsky, who has been involved in Women at Risk since 1994, has served on the Board of Directors since 1995. She is the President of the Board of Directors. Her work on the annual holiday tea, a special day in which clients have an exceptional afternoon with their peers and receive wonderful gifts solicited from sponsors in the community, has been outstanding. Its mission is to reflect Christ in daily living.
Members believe that, as mothers, they have an unlimited influence on the world.
They actively support other ministries that focus on outreach, especially projects in which their children may be involved. Prior to becoming a full time mother, honoree Victoria Sekits worked as a pediatric nurse at the UCLA Medical Center. During the past year, she has been the leader and facilitator for the Mothers Outreach Ministry at America Martyrs Parish. Under Sekits leadership, the Mothers Outreach Ministry has gained new energy and direction. She has been integral to the success of many of the group s projects, including the recent children s book drive.
