Circles
Circles Guelph Wellington is a community-based initiative that creates relationships across economic boundaries. It matches people of low-income who have attended the Getting Ahead program with people of middle and upper income who have attended bridges training.
Circles is a high-impact, 18-month-long voluntary strategy designed to:
- Provide emotional and practical support
- Assist with complex issues
- Build the "social capital" of people living in low income situations
- Show the community the very real barriers holding people in poverty
- Walk with people in poverty and support positive changes in their lives.
The Circles program has been used in dozens of communities in the US and Canada. It is a proven and credible program that makes real and on-going change for individuals and our community.
