Community Members

Families who become community members in the Circles of Support program choose to participate based on three criteria:

  • An understanding of the Circles process
  • Openness to accept support for personal dreams and goals
  • The ability to embrace change
  • Interest in learning to advocate for themselves and for systemic change

New participants attend an orientation and are introduced to the Circles of Support process and its basic principles.

Community members attend at least two Community Leadership meetings per month and meet with their allies in a monthly Circle meeting to review progress.

This process enlists the gifts and talents of allies and community members alike to accomplish the work of building stronger, healthier communities.

Shared Values

Our inherent intelligence needs to be
manifested through our unique gifts and talents.
We believe it is important to lead by
sharing knowledge in the community.

Our Circles of Support Community reduces
the isolation of modern life and
allows us to make new friends and
develop the strength of our social networks.

We believe differences may be acknowledged
and accepted, creating an inclusive
environment to focus on the common good.

We are building a connected community
where the community’s health and well-being
is a result of people helping people
in caring relationships.

We believe that everyone should have enough
money, friends and meaning through community!
