• The Circle Leader works with Allies to build his or her plan discussed in the Circle Leader Training, which is required of each Circle Leader before being placed in a Matched Circle (2 assigned allies/intentional friends). You attend a 12 week class (once per week) with other Circle Leaders to evaluate your current situation along with setting goals and envisioning your personal road map to attain financial self-sufficiency.

• Weekly community meetings take place after graduation from Circles Training. These meetings prepare Circle Leaders to take a leadership role in their Circle and to use their knowledge and skills as problem-solvers to work on poverty issues in the community. YES, you get a voice to share your story...to help others understand what the struggle to become financially stable is like. YOU GET to be HEARD and can influence potential change within your own community to get rid of the barriers you know exist!
