Circles of Hope, Pratt County is starting the next 12-week beginners class on Monday, April 5, 2021 at 5:30 p.m.
Circles is a community-supported organization that works with folks experiencing poverty and seeking to learn how to manage their finances. Members of the class look at their income and outgo, learn about budgeting, consider how to improve a credit score and much more. Building supportive relationships with others in Circles is an additional benefit.
Getting out of poverty is easier when there is a circle of support. After completion of the 12 week program, there is an 18-month program that matches class members (called Circle Leaders) with two supportive volunteers (Allies) and provides on-going learning and support.
