Circles mission has always been to inspire and equip families and communities to thrive and resolve poverty. We believe strongly that responsibility for both poverty and prosperity rests not only in the hands of individuals, but also with societies, institutions, and communities. It’s the underlying foundation of the Circles model – engage people and organizations in the community to end poverty.
Today, 70 plus communities in 19 states and parts of Canada have joined the Circles network. We’re inspired by the work that occurs at each location and by the passion and commitment of both our volunteers and participants. Their stories of success demonstrate what we’ve believed all along – when communities come together and the right techniques are utilized, great change can occur.
Scott Miller, the CEO and founder of Circles, recognizes the benefits of the Money & ME Program. To begin this partnership, Ausha Jackson, National Training Director, came to New Mexico to get started. Each chapter in the Circles Organization will have the opportunity to identify staff and or volunteers to become trainers and complete the online training. ANYONE is welcome to become a trainer.
