Lindsay Szymanski Participates on Community Service Team

2014 Jan 21

Lindsay Szymanski of Paradise, CA, was one of more than 100 students to participate in community service through Simpson University's "strike teams" during the fall 2013 semester. Szymanski's major is General Ministries.

"Strike teams" at Simpson University began during the 2012-13 school year after the university's ninth annual Day of Service, where students served at more than 10 locations in the Redding, Calif., area. With a heart for serving the local community, the university created an initiative to continue service year-round. Since September 2012, 74 projects have been completed.

Hannah Dewater, one of the strike team assistants, served at 21 locations this semester. "My experience with the strike teams has challenged me to grow in the areas of service, leadership, and community awareness," she said. "We are able to come alongside people in their moments of panic, chaos and hurt, and provide loving help."
