What: Circles Ally 101 training for those interested in joining the Circles Campaign

When: Wednesday, Nov. 30, 6-8 p.m.

The Circles Campaign provides a stable structure for people who are working their way out of poverty to receive guidance and support from mentors – called “allies” – to help them develop skills and access resources needed to work on their long range plans to move toward economic stability.

Circles Allies are asked to make an 18-month commitment, volunteering for 6-12 hours per month including two monthly meetings.

For those wanting to be a part of the campaign but unable to make the Ally time commitment, other volunteers are needed for the program in Longmont, Lafayette and Boulder.

Please contact Eliberto Mendoza at emendoza@nullbouldercounty.org or 303-441-1503 for more information.
