Synergy gives at-risk and homeless youths health and dental care, therapy, even the simple opportunity to take a shower and do laundry. In recent years, because of its limited facilities, Synergy was able to serve only a dozen youths at a time. The new shelter can house twice that many. Additionally, the new Youth Resource and Resiliency Center serves hundreds more by giving them a place where they can come and learn about art, work on computers, get a work-out, and play music.

For the grand opening, 360/Scott Rice volunteers helped Synergy over two days of events. The team provided food and beverages, registered visitors, gave tours and cleaned up. The purpose behind the events was to reach out to children, teens and families in the community, to help them understand and embrace Synergy’s vital mission. In words of Executive Director Robin Winner, Synergy tries to change people’s world view by wrapping them with support. The 360/Scott Rice team applied that same concept helping Synergy with its grand opening.
