Circles Cobb is a transformative initiative committed to the elimination of poverty by harnessing the power of a caring community working together. Circles helps people transition out of poverty by building intentional, supportive relationships across income lines. Individuals or families working to get out of poverty are connected with two middle or upper income mentors who encourage and walk alongside the family on their road to economic stability.
In Circles, participants and mentors grow and learn together. While participants navigate their way toward economic stability, mentors get an in-depth education on the culture of poverty and a new perspective of their community. At monthly meetings, city leaders, business owners, and other community members are invited in so the community can work together to identify, discuss, and often resolve barriers that keep people in poverty.
Over 80 communities in the United States and Canada are using Circles because the results are so encouraging. After 18 months, those in the program achieve an average 78% increase in their income, an average 73% increase in education, and they experience an increase in the number of people they can call on for support. Communities have also seen changes at the system level, revising unjust eviction policies, fighting predatory loan practices, and engaging in advocacy efforts to mitigate the Cliff Effect.
