Our Circles volunteers make a difference!

The best experiences are when volunteers match their skills with our needs. Take a look at these suggestions and let us know if you’re a fit. For information or to volunteer, contact us at circlesoftroup@gmail.com or at 706.883.1687.

Event support

Help with planning and presenting annual events.

• Graduation ceremony/reception – decorate, provide food, serve at the reception.
• Plan a family fun night with games, crafts and fun for adults and children – scheduled on fifth Thursdays.
• Empty Bowl fundraiser dinner – recruit sponsors, gather prizes, plan, decorate, provide soup and/or serve at the event.

Fundraising

Circles is a non-profit organization and fundraising is an important part of its annual work.

• Collect items such as craft supplies or books for our children’s program.
• Hold a fundraiser such as a motorcycle ride, coin wars, bake sale or barbecue lunch.

Program support

• Provide a meal at a weekly Thursday meeting. We can provide the food, your group prepares, serves and cleans up.
• Participate in a poverty simulation. We need 15 -17 volunteers for each simulation, held throughout the year.
• Resource experts provide one-on-one coaching in an area where you are skilled. For example, credit recovery strategy, job interview coaching and other areas.
• Lead a weekly meeting for our participants and volunteers: topics can include healthy lifestyles, budgeting, goal-setting, job success and more.

Individual support

• Allies make a 1-year commitment to work in a small group providing support to a family participating in Circles.
• Drivers help with transportation challenges. We often need people to drive a Circles participant to a job interview, to school or resource organizations.
