Community Action Circles Initiative

Circles empowers people with the resources and community support they need to achieve financial independence. We create relationships across economic class lines, by matching participants of low income with middle class volunteers. The volunteers share their life experiences, skills and friendship. This is key to helping participants succeed.

Circles Participants (Circle Leaders) are low-income individuals or families. We provide our Circle Leaders with a 12 week training and an intentional support network to overcome barriers and become financially stable.

We accomplish our mission through our volunteer opportunities:

• Becoming an intentional friend (Ally) In SPANISH and in English
• Becoming Childcare volunteer
• Becoming a member of one our Circles Teams
• Providing Dinner donations

Our goal:

Circles Participants (Circle Leaders) reach and maintain financial stability and graduate from the Circles Initiative at 200% or more of the Federal Poverty Guideline.
