BUILDING COMMUNITY TO END POVERTY

WE REDUCE POVERTY

Circles USA gathers middle-income and high-income volunteers to support families in poverty. Surrounded by people who have landed jobs, negotiated a lease, or managed credit card debt, for example, people experiencing poverty are more equipped to achieve long-term financial stability.

WE CHANGE COMMUNITIES

While participants are navigating their way out of poverty, their successes and challenges are shared with local community leaders. The barriers that keep people in poverty are identified, discussed, and often resolved.

WE HAVE A MODEL THAT WORKS

Our participants achieve a 30% increase in income after six months and a 76% increase in income after 18 months. Participants continue to increase their income–even after the 18-month period.
