What is Circles?
Circles is an effective poverty reduction initiative that revolves around building intentional relationships across income lines. Almost 80 communities in the United States and Canada use Circles because the results are so encouraging. After 18 months, participants achieve an average 71% increase in their income. Circles participants are called Circle Leaders because they lead themselves out of poverty. Each Circle Leader is matched with two Allies, middle- and upper-income volunteers who help Circle Leaders use their unique gifts and skills to reach their personal and financial goals. Social capital is often the missing link between short-term relief and long-term stability. Many who live in poverty are hardworking and motivated, so when two Allies join them, advice is offered, social networks are shared, and the obstacles that keep people in poverty start to disappear.
How can I help?
Provide a full meal for a group of 30 either as an individual, group, or organization. Have the meal prepared and ready to serve by 5:45 Wednesday night. To coordinate with our Circles team, call Kathryn at 435-673-3548 Ext. 162, or email kmoster@fivecounty.utah.gov.

Mission Statement
Circles mission is to inspire and equip families and communities to thrive and resolve poverty. The program believes that responsibility for both poverty and prosperity rests not only in the hands of individuals but also with communities.
Description
Circles is about intentional friendship across income lines. Volunteers and participants grow and learn together. While participants navigate their way to financial transformation, volunteers get an in-depth education on the culture of poverty. Participants and volunteers meet together weekly to identify, discuss and often resolve the barriers that keep people in poverty. The Circles program is nationwide. This result of this program is encouraging. After 18 months, most participants increase their income by 71%.
