Enjoy working with kids? Want to make a difference in the lives of low-income children and families? Be a part of Circles and support families in your community to overcome poverty. Our weekly meetings in Provo and Heber host classes and individualized support teams to empower individuals to set goals and make life changes.
Children are taught and develop friendships with each other and the volunteers in a secure environment. We hope to make a positive difference in their lives by providing learning opportunities, routines, and the friendships they need. Our children's program could not be made possible without a sufficient number of fun and nurturing volunteers! Join us for two and a half hours once a week for a free dinner and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children!

Benefits:

  • Opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children
  • Free weekly meal
  • Opportunity to build friendships within the volunteer circle
