Circles

Circles Cohort 4 starting October 2024!


Tuesdays, 6-8pm at Niekerk Church

Dinner, youth programming  & childcare provided!


Heights of Hope partners with Circles, USA & Good Samaritan Ministries to offer Circles, an 18 - month national program designed to empower and equip families to move out of poverty and thrive. The method is intentionally relationship- and community-driven and brings together people from all walks of life to support our Circle leaders and create change in our community. Watch the videos on the Circles USA web page to learn how the program works.

The program starts with training and equipping leaders from our neighborhood who identify their strengths and create long term goals. Leaders are then each matched with two to three allies from our neighborhood and greater community, who come alongside them to offer support and encouragement. This method is rooted in the belief that the responsibility for both poverty and prosperity rests not only in the hands of individuals, but also with societies, institutions, and communities.

Here are ways you can get involved:

Cohort 1: September 2017-August 2019

Cohort 2: October 2019-August 2021

Cohort 3: September 2021-July 2023
