Ever wonder what Circles is all about? Have you be involved in the past and are looking to dive back in? Join us for dinner and some info as you ‘Come & See’ Circles on Monday, August 26. We’ll have dinner for you and childcare for your kids if needed - just RSVP that you’re coming.
Come learn about volunteering, becoming a Circle Leader, or an Ally.
Circles equips and inspires families by matching one highly motivated low-income person or family (called a Circle Leader – one who is leading her/his own life out of poverty) with two middle- to upper-middle class community volunteers (called Allies – persons who commit to friendship, companionship, and support on the journey out of poverty). Circle Leaders are trained, supported, and held accountable to build financial, emotional, and social resources, and to expand their social capital. During an initial 12 weeks of foundational training, each Circle Leader creates a personal Economic Stability Plan that defines SMART goals unique to their own needs and dreams. The Plan maps the way forward through the 18-month commitment to weekly Circles meetings for learning, support, and accountability. Circle Allies are trained, supported, and held accountable to learn the hidden rules of class, to assist the Circle Leader in expanding their social capital, and how to help without hurting, rescuing, or enabling.
Dinner and Childcare Provided with RSVP.
RSVP by calling/texting: 608-561-8467 or emailing: 68@MakingServicePersonal.org with the number of people eating, and ages/names of children who will need childcare.
