SUMMARY:"Do Something: Turning Compassion into Action" - Rev. Sonia Ketchian & Lisa Maurer (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Please join UUCP for today’s in-person and online service\, “Do Something: Turning Compassion into Action” led by Rev. Sonia Ketchian and Special Guest\, Lisa Maurer at 10:30 a.m. \nJoin us for a powerful and inspiring service as we learn about the life-changing services provided by the Women’s Rights Information Center (WRIC) for women in need and discover how you can make a difference—through volunteering\, donations\, or activism. Together\, we will explore the many ways to stand in solidarity\, take meaningful action\, and create significant change. Whether you’re called to serve\, to advocate\, or to support\, this service will offer a path forward. \nLet’s turn compassion into action—as we explore endless ways we can “Do Something” to make a difference! \nPoster By: Liandra Pires \n  \n\nWRIC – THE WOMEN’S RIGHTS INFORMATION CENTER  \nOur mission- to provide knowledge and opportunities to support the economic aspirations and emotional stability of all individuals so they may live a life of hope\, security and dignity. \nFor over five decades\, WRIC’s primary focus has been to increase employability for individuals so that they can become more confident\, make better decisions\, and take care of themselves and their families.  WRIC is a Certified Job-Training provider\, licensed by the NJ Department of Labor\, and provides displaced homemaker services\, career services\, including job placement assistance\, resume development\, computer training\, ESL and Citizenship education\, legal consultations\, victim services for those affected by crime\, and a shared housing program to assist individuals in establishing shared households. \nIn 2019\, WRIC received a grant under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) program for its Victim Services and Career Development Program.   This enabled WRIC to help its populations of crime victims stabilize their lives after victimization and trauma with a focus on helping victims find meaningful employment and income so that they can survive independently.  Due to financial loss/abuse\, survivors of domestic violence are often unable to achieve self-sufficiency until they can develop workplace skills and earn a living wage in a job with security.  WRIC’s program provides emergency services\, case management\, and support groups. \n\n\n  \n\nMEET LISA MAURER – Associate Executive Director\, Bergen County Women’s Rights Information Center (WRIC) \nRecently promoted to Associate Executive Director at the Women’s Rights Information Center (WRIC) in Bergen County\, Lisa Maurer is a committed advocate for some of the region’s most vulnerable populations. She provides critical support to women and families dealing with challenges such as homelessness\, domestic violence\, cultural assimilation\, language barriers\, and displacement. Maurer’s work centers around helping these individuals secure meaningful employment and build lasting stability\, drawing deeply from her own lived experiences. \nMaurer’s passion for helping others is rooted in her own personal journey. Widowed at a young age and raising four children as a single mother\, she understands firsthand the complexities and emotional challenges of facing hardship alone. The struggles she encountered\, including navigating life as the sole provider for her family\, fueled her drive to help others who face similar difficulties. These experiences have given her a deep empathy and insight into the difficulties women face when confronted with unexpected life changes. \nIn addition to her personal background\, Maurer brings extensive professional expertise to her work. Before transitioning to the non-profit sector\, she owned and operated a successful restaurant business for 30 years\, where she developed strong leadership\, management\, and\nproblem-solving skills. Maurer has also committed herself to trauma-informed care\, completing the Rutgers University NJVAA Foundation Series in Domestic Violence and earning certifications as a resilience coach and a mental health first-aid responder. \nMaurer’s advocacy work includes serving as a Child Care Advocate with the Center for Hope and Safety and as a front-line teaching assistant at the Hackensack YMCA\, where she worked to support the educational development of at-risk youth. In 2017\, she joined WRIC as a case\nmanager and has since become a key leader within the organization. \nIn recognition of her commitment to supporting displaced women\, Maurer was selected in 2017 to represent Bergen County on the New Jersey Displaced Homemakers Network. In this role\, she helps direct statewide efforts to assist women who\, due to sudden life changes such as death\, divorce\, or illness\, must assume the role of sole provider and head of household. Her trauma-informed approach to this work ensures that women receive both the emotional support and practical resources they need during difficult transitions. \nMaurer graduated from Bergen Leads in 2020 as a member of the Class of 2020\, further solidifying her commitment to community leadership and social justice. At WRIC\, Maurer’s combination of leadership\, trauma-informed care\, and personal understanding of adversity has cemented her as a key leader within one of Bergen County’s most dedicated non-profit organizations. Her ability to address the most challenging life situations with empathy and practical solutions has empowered many individuals to overcome obstacles and create brighter futures. \nA resident of Clifton\, Maurer is a proud mother of four and grandmother of five. \n  \nDate: April 6\, 2025 \nTime: 10:30 AM \nLocation: The Bristal Assisted Living at Englewood\n412 S Van Brunt St\, Englewood\, NJ 07631 \nAmple parking is available under the building \nPLEASE NOTE: You will be required to sign in.
