The Circles® Campaign uses the concepts found in Bridges Out of Poverty [Bridges] and Getting Ahead in a Just-Getting’-by World [Getting Ahead™], presented in partnership with publisher, aha! Process, Inc., and DeVol & Associates, LLC. These concepts engage people of all classes, races, sectors, and political persuasions in the work of ending poverty and building communities where everyone can live well. Bridges and Getting Ahead™ provide a common language for Guiding Coalitions, Allies, and Circle Leaders. The application of Bridges and Getting Ahead constructs provides an accurate mental model of poverty and class, a way to build relationships of mutual respect, an understanding of the barriers faced by people who are transitioning out of poverty, and a comprehensive systemic way to address all the causes of poverty.

Circles

Circles seem to be all around.
Circles will have you lifted way off the ground.
Circles can be something great.
Circles will help you get life straight.

Circles, circles, circles, some are good, others are bad.
But this group called Circles will do everything else but make you sad.
Some say squares make up the picture frame,
But Circles makes the picture simple and plain.

Circles helped me and oh, so many others.
Circles made me feel like no other.
Thank you, Circles, for being real.
Thank you, Circles, and that’s for real.
