Creating Leaders

C.I.R.C.L.E.S. – More Than a Program

Empowering Leaders. Transforming Communities.
We are a movement dedicated to building leaders and breaking cycles of poverty through connection, accountability, and meaningful growth.

Participants are not just recipients of support — they are equipped to take on leadership and decision-making roles in their lives, families, and communities. Our goal is to help individuals grow in self-awareness, resilience, and purpose.

Weekly meetings create a safe and inclusive space where participants and community mentors come together to learn, build relationships, and work collaboratively toward lasting change.

Youth Program: Investing in Future Leaders

Our youth program is open to all children whose parent or guardian is actively participating in CIRCLES — supported by dedicated volunteers, this program is designed to:

  • Foster leadership, self-confidence, and critical thinking

  • Create a sense of belonging and purpose

  • Empower youth to understand and address the root causes of poverty in their community

We believe that by nurturing young leaders, we’re not just supporting families — we’re shaping a future where cycles of poverty are broken and new opportunities take root.
