SynerGeo is a 501 (c) (3) organization. The mission of SynerGeo is to enrich the lives of children and families through the arts, education, and cultural awareness. Our vision is to partner with struggling communities in order to empower people to live in community with mindfulness, compassion, and creativity.
Our Goals are to 1. Provide an intentional community among the Jonah House residents, 2. Inspire community action through the Arts, 3. Provide children, youth and families affordable access to the Arts, 4. Encourage creativity & positive expression, and 5. Be a partner to surrounding communities, organizations, corporations, & communities of faith.
The word SynerGeo was created by combining the words synergy, meaning a bringing together of energy from two or more parts, working in cooperation to create an energy or whole greater than the sum of the individual parts, and geo, meaning earth or planet.
SynerGeo’s symbol is borrowed from the Aberlemno Cross, one of the Celtic high crosses dating to the eighth century. The mandala-like center, filled with spirals, represents all things revolving around God.
SynerGeo staff, volunteers, and board members believe that by coming together, we can have a greater impact on positive change in our communities. As a nonprofit faith-based organization, SynerGeo provides needed programs and services to the residents of Oregon Hill and surrounding communities. SynerGeo is an equal opportunity employer. SynerGeo welcomes people from different socio-economic status, gender, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, ages, or mental and physical abilities.
