This two hour session presents an overview of the Bridges to Circles poverty initiative and begins to equip the individual to serve as an ally for an individual (Circle Leader) moving from poverty to self-sufficiency.  2-3 Allies commit to build intentional relationships with a Circle Leader twice a month at the Weekly Community Meetings and provide social capital essential to get out of poverty.  Training is conducted at the Catholic Charities Outreach Center at 1815 N. Sixth Avenue from 5:30-7:30 pm.  For more information contact Haley Richards, Bridges to Circles community organizer, (850)429-7296, ext. 17 or email richardsh@cc.ptdiocese.org.
