Mission Statement

Circles Cobb builds community to end poverty through intentional friendships, personal transformation, and systemic change led by the people closest to the challenge.

Description

  • Circles Cobb is dedicated to connecting local families experiencing poverty with a supportive community, guiding them through an intentional
    eighteen-month program designed to empower them to set and achieve their goals, working towards self-sufficiency. Each family is
    paired with 2 to 3 volunteers who provide encouragement, support, and valuable connections on their journey to financial stability.
    Data from 80+ chapters throughout North America shows that participants increase their income by 75% on average after completing the
    program. Participating in Circles offers a powerful opportunity to break down race, class, and gender barriers that perpetuate poverty.
