Circles Upstate SC is looking for volunteers for our 5th Circles Group beginning August 21st, 2024 from 5:15pm-7:30pm, every Wednesday evening over an 18-month journey. Our volunteers are committed to forming intentional friendships with our Circles program participants. Our program participants are individuals and families ready and willing to make a change in their lives to thrive, not just survive. Our participants set their own goals and map out their plan to reach them, and our volunteers support them in reaching their goals by offering experience, expertise, and networks. Our volunteers commit to taking an active role in supporting families to leave poverty for good, building long term intentional friendships, and being open to new perspectives. We pair two volunteers with one program participant. Over the 18th month journey, we begin our weekly Wednesday night meetings by all participants and volunteers sharing a meal together. In the beginning weeks, after the meal participants and volunteers will receive training. After training is complete, volunteers will get to meet with their participants directly to support their goals and plans.
