Do you feel stuck?
Are you living paycheck to paycheck? Do you want to improve yourself and achieve your goals? Circles is a program that helps low-income individuals and families increase their income, achieve their goals, and become financially stable. We want you to be a LEADER in our community. You will receive training on finances, employment, health, and communication skills. But what really makes Circles different are the relationships you will form. We match you with two middle or upper income volunteers who are there to support you in your journey. Achieving your goals and moving from surviving to thriving is easier when you have a circle of support.
Learning Together.
You, as a participant, are called a Circle Leader. You will be matched with volunteers who will be your Allies. Prior to becoming a Circle Leader, you will go through training to equip you to be a successful Circle Leader. You will be setting your own goals, and your Allies will be there to listen, ask questions, and offer support. You and your Allies will learn from each other as you accomplish your goals. Weekly meetings are on Wednesdays from 6-8PM in Fayetteville and include a dinner and childcare.

“I never thought about future goals. My mindset was to make it through the day. I grew up in poverty, and my parents grew up in poverty... Now I have goals for myself and my family. This program has absolutely changed my outlook on life, and it has changed my children’s future.” — Amber S. (Circle Leader)
