What is a Circle Leader?

 In our community, even the people with the most ambition and drive can find themselves in tough situations that leave them with limited resources or a low-income. We call these folks Circle Leaders, individuals or families working hard to become financially stable, but struggling to cover all their expenses. And while a Circle Leader may feel stuck, we know that every person has gifts and skills that can flourish with the right amount of support. 




 

Step 1: Learn about Circles

There are several ways you can learn more about our unique approach to helping families become financially stable and reducing poverty in our community. FAQ can be found here. Email us at circlescoach@bridgesalliancejc.org or call us at  (317) 296-4568.  Ask for our Circles Coach, Jill Pierce.  


Step 2: Interested in becoming a Circle Leader? Complete an Leader Interest Form

Once you have learned what it means to become a Circle Leader, you will need to fill out a Leader Interest Form.

Step 3: Participate in a conversation with our Coach.

After reviewing your application, one of our Circles members will contact you to schedule a phone or in-person conversation.  Our conversations are relaxed and easy.  We want to learn more about you and your dreams.  And you may ask questions to ensure that the program is a good fit for you.


Step 4: Engage in Training

Complete Circle Leader Training, a twelve-week class which will empower you to become your own problem solver. This training guides you through the process of evaluating and understanding what resources you have and what resources you need to build. You will focus on creating a plan and developing goals and a future story for yourself and your family. The choices are yours to make as you are the expert on your own life. You know if you need help with a budget, more schooling or a better job. You know what gets in your way. The Circles program helps you achieve the dreams you have for your family’s financial well-being.
