Circles RVA inspires and equips individuals to permanently move out of poverty and thrive. We create intentional relationships that expand support communities and engage the wider community to reduce or eliminate the systemic barriers that hinder people from rising out of poverty.

We are starting a new cohort of allies to be matched with the new cohort of leaders that at starting in September. These allies will be matched with a leader to be a friend, coach, cheerleader, mentor as the leader goes on their journey out of poverty.

Meetings are on Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 pm when in person. The commitment is for 18 months. Training is for 8 sessions a few weeks after the leaders start their training. You are asked to attend at least 2 meetings per month and to spend 4-6 hrs per month outside of the Tuesday meetings.
