Q: What is Synergy’s definition of a Family? A: A basic social unit consisting of one (or more adults) together with the children they care for, whether they dwell within one household or not. Still unsure? Give us a call and we can discuss this together. Q: Is a membership required to take part in programming? A: A membership is only required for YELL & SHOUT members (While we encourage a membership, we understand that in some instances your youth/child may only be attending one event or program and will not be an active member, in which case a membership isn’t necessary)

Q: How can I volunteer with Synergy? A: Visit the 'Volunteer' page of our website to learn about all the different ways you can volunteer!
