About Us
Montgomery County Anti-human Trafficking coalition (MCAT) was formed in the spring of 2011 with the purpose of raising awareness and creating a network of resources for survivors of sex trafficking. It was founded by Rachael Yudt in collaboration with the Office of State Senator Daylin Leach. Since then, the coalition has undergone many phases of growth and change. Pastor Obed Almeyda followed Rachael Yudt as Executive Director for 3 years expanding MCAT's network with many organizations and services, and established MCAT as a 501 (c)(3) in January 2018.
MCAT is currently comprised of an all volunteer team, which includes community members, social service organizations, law enforcement agencies, and local experts. MCAT volunteers choose their level of involvement. Options include attendance at community vendor events, liaison with community partners to increase awareness and education, attendance at bi-monthly meetings and more!
