Symba Center was founded on the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and given the chance to heal. This simple truth has grown into a powerful philosophy: We are better together. It's not just a slogan—it’s the heartbeat of everything we do.
At the center of Symba is a community united by compassion, resilience, and purpose. From our founders to our frontline staff, volunteers, and partners, we believe that lasting change happens when we walk alongside one another. This page honors the people and values that drive our mission—because healing is not a solo journey, and transformation is strongest when shared.
Symba Center began not in a boardroom, but in a dorm room—with a dream to reimagine care for those too often left behind. Fueled by faith and a deep sense of calling, our founders believed that healing should be holistic, accessible, and rooted in dignity. They saw a broken system—and envisioned something better: a place where medical, mental health, and housing support could come together to serve the whole person.
What started as a late-night conversation between students with hearts for justice has since grown into a thriving community hub of hope and healing. That original vision—radical compassion paired with practical solutions—still guides us today. And it reminds us that no dream is too small to change lives when it’s shared.
