The mission of A Wider Circle is to end poverty. Our holistic approach integrates on-the-ground services for the creation of stable homes, workforce development, and neighborhood revitalization. We also seek to develop large-scale solutions that incorporate greater awareness and engagement by the community. In a typical year, with the help of 30,000 volunteers, we serve more than 30,000 children and adults.
We know that no one gets out of poverty without a good job. A Wider Circle’s Workforce Development Program offers job readiness training and individualized coaching on skills such as conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, networking, and financial planning, alongside support with resume writing, interview preparation, and online job search assistance to some of our region’s most vulnerable populations. Our intensive, one-on-one support helps job seekers obtain and retain meaningful, career-path employment, moving towards sustained self-sufficiency.
