Be a Prayer Team Member

SYMin clients are sharing more prayers than ever before, creating a need for more prayer team members. SYMin sends prayer requests by email one at a time in round-robin fashion, and prayer members get requests about every three weeks. To maintain this frequency, we need more prayer team members.

Fall Volunteer Opportunities

SYMin is asking for help with three main service opportunities this fall:

Virtual Volunteerism: Duties may include making Canva graphics, creating learn-and-earn Google forms, updating web content, helping with social media, coordinating, and making phone calls. All done from home.

Online Event Helper. SYMin needs hosts to interact with clients during our Zoom events. Online helpers are asked to attend at least four groups this fall, contribute to discussions and activities. You must apply for these positions.
