aha! Process, Inc. is working in partnership with
the Circles National Campaign
in communities nationwide to build relationships across class
and racial lines to end poverty.
These organizations are working toward the extraordinary–an end to poverty.
The campaign foundation is laid with Bridges Out of Poverty and Getting Ahead workshops in order to
help individuals and families wanting to make the journey out of poverty. These trainings are given as
part of a partnership between aha! Process and the National Circles Campaign.
Before going through Circles, Allies begin with a training called Bridges Out of Poverty, and Circle Leaders
start with Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World.
The Circles™ Model
The Circles™ Model
aims to (1) change the mindset of the
community so it wants to and thinks it can end poverty; (2) change the
goals (policy, law) of the system to end poverty; and (3) empower people
to self-organize.
Circles™ Model in Action

are working together as a community.
"We were kind of leery at first. We thought we would be judged. It was
shocking that it didn't happen. This year has totally changed us."
–Michelle Ridge, Circles™ Leader from Saline County, Missouri.
