Simcoe County Circles is currently looking for Allies in the Midland/Penetanguishene area to join us and help make a difference in our community.
What is a Circles Ally?
A Circles Ally is a volunteer that would like to be a mentor to an individual or family living in poverty and assist them with their Plan of Change. We are looking for people to build intentional friendships through mutual respect who would like to support individuals with their future plans. Allies will help increase their Social Capital by sharing contacts, information and experiences.
What is Involved?
Simcoe County Circles meet every Thursday from 5 PM to 7 PM. During 3 of these monthly sessions, we meet to enjoy a casual family style dinner together then break into groups for fun and informative activities and learning. Leaders are encouraged to bring their children who will participate in activities of their own.
One Thursday a month is reserved for the Ally and Leader to have some time together. This could be as simple as meeting for a coffee, going grocery shopping or just having a conversation allowing a stronger partnership to form, as the Ally and Leader share ideas, build their resources and increase their contacts.
