Circles is an innovative high-impact campaign to eliminate poverty. Rather than targeting a surface need of at-risk communities such as housing or food provision, Circles seeks to expand social capital by fostering relationships across racial and economic lines. It engages the community as a whole and encourages growth from people of all financial classes. There are currently over 60 Circles communities in the United States in 26 states. The campaign was initiated by Move the Mountain in 2007 and has returned extremely encouraging results.
To learn more about Circles visit the Move the Mountain website.
We are privileged to visit 8 of these sites in May, documenting some of these results firsthand, and capturing the moving stories that go along with them!
