Allies and Leaders grow friendships, walk together, and learn from and with each other. As part of the Circles community, Circle Leaders are empowered to reach their goals and journey out of poverty. Current Allies say that their relationship with Circle Leaders and being a part of Circles has transformed their lives. Learn how to join Circles and transform YOUR life!
