Would you like to share that story with our Saint Spyridon youth and young adults as they navigate their own professional journeys? If so, we invite you to be- come a part of our Lenten Speaker Se- ries, where you can share your unique experiences and insights on the inter- section of faith and career. A b o u t t h e S p e a k e r S e r i e s Our Speaker Series is designed to provide a platform for professionals from diverse backgrounds to discuss how their faith has influenced their career choices, opportunities, and achievements. We are looking for a panel of professionals in three dif- ferent categories: Health Sciences, Law, and Business, but we are open to any professional who is inspired to share. By sharing personal stories, challenges, and triumphs, our speak- ers will offer valuable perspectives to young people who are seeking guid- ance on how to integrate living an Orthodox life with their professional aspirations. Why Vo l un t ee r a s a Spea ke r ? • Inspire and Mentor: Your story has the power to motivate and guide young individuals who are at a crossroads in their career decisions. By sharing your jour- ney, you can provide them with the confidence and clarity they need to pursue their passions. • Give Back to the Community: Volunteering as a speaker and sharing your insights can help shape the future leaders of our community. • Network and Connect: Engage with like-minded professionals who share your commitment to Orthodoxy and career excel- lence. • Personal Growth: Reflecting on your own journey and ar- ticulating your experiences can forge a unique connection of self-awareness with your faith. Wh o S h o u l d A p p l y ? We are seeking volunteers who: • Have a strong commitment to their faith and a desire to share how it has influenced their ca- reer path. • Are willing to speak candidly about their experiences, includ- ing challenges and successes. • Are at different levels of their ca- reer (from new professionals to those who have 20+ years’ expe- rience). • Are passionate about mentoring and empowering young individ- uals. A b o u t o u r A u d i e n c e Open to all our parishioners but our primary audience consists of young individuals and their parents who are in the early stages of their career journey, including high school stu- dents, college students, and recent graduates. They are eager to learn from experienced professionals who can offer guidance on how to navi- gate the complexities of balancing faith and career. E v e n t D e t a i l s The Speaker Series will be held in person, following Divine Litur- gy over three consecutive Sundays during Lent: March 16, 23 and 30th. Each session will be followed by a Q&A segment. The exact location is TBD, but it will be on the church grounds and a light lunch will be served.
