Is there a specific niche within Circles Salt Lake you’d like to help out with? If so, joining a resource team might be the option for you. We have a total of 5 resource teams which are made up of groups of diverse volunteers who contribute vital assistance, fresh ideas, and vision to the Circles initiative. Resource Teams: Community Team- As a community team member you maintain and manage a welcoming space for meetings and also coordinate weekly meals with community sponsors. Recruitment Team- As a member of the recruitment team you will promote Circles in the community, recruit and help enroll Circle Leaders, Circle Allies and other volunteers. Services Team- Works to connect participants to the service they need (e.g. housing, transportation, childcare, healthcare, financial & utility assistance, and recovery services) while also establishing relationships with existing community services that can support the Circles initiative. Jobs and Education Team- Works with participants to help define and plan their career goals and also also offers guidance about educational opportunities and financial aid. Big View Team - Facilitates discussions about poverty with local leaders and helps participants engage with those in power.

Are you looking to befriend and work closely with a person in need? If so, becoming an Ally might be the perfect opportunity for you. At Circles, we value friendship and community and recognize that our Circle Leaders (the participants working to leave poverty behind) need a friend and constant support system. Fighting poverty is not easy to do alone, Circle Leaders need a friend and ally. They need someone like you! As an Ally, you will be there to support, encourage, and work with our Circle Leaders as they work on their goals towards financial stability. You might be thinking, "this sounds great, but what if I don’t have the proper training and background?" Well, that is perfectly okay! At Circles, we provide our volunteers with training before stepping into their roles. Our Allies will specifically receive education on being culturally sensitive and training from Bridges Out of Poverty. This education is to give our Allies a toolbox of skills to use in future relationships with our families. As an Ally we ask that you commit to attending weekly meetings on the 1st and 3rd Thursday (we do try and pair each Circle Leader up with at least 2 allies so if an Ally cannot come the 1st or 3rd Thursday it is okay), pass a background check, attend training and most importantly, build and strengthen relationships in the Circles Community. Come join us Today and be a Circles Ally!!

This is a great hands on volunteer opportunity for ALL ages. Even children! At each of our weekly Circles meetings it’s essential for us all (Circle Leaders, Children, Allies, Volunteers,) to come together for a meal. Dinner is where friendship and community is built. Details: Groups bringing dinner to a weekly meeting should be prepared offsite with food to feed 60-75 people. The meal should include a main course, healthy side, and dessert. We do have a few dietary needs that should be kept in mind when planning what to bring, when possible. (vegetarian/gluten free) It's very helpful if sponsors can also provide disposable plates, cups, utensils, and water to drink. We ask that the food be pre-made and brought ready to serve at our meeting location in South Salt Lake We invite groups to stay and serve dinner and sit down and enjoy the meal with us. After dinner is complete we invite groups to help us pack up any leftover food and clean up. To sign up for this opportunity please visit, Circles Salt Lake Dinner.

Circles Salt Lake offers a wonderful Children’s Program that Circle Leaders and Allies can bring their children too. We believe that the entire family should be part of the journey. As a children’s program volunteer, you will assist in teaching an age-appropriate curriculum and doing activities with the kids. This is also great for college students, retirees and anyone looking for a fun hands on volunteer opportunity.
