SCOPE OF WORK
2020-21 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
BOYNTON BEACH
Agency Name: Pathways to Prosperity, Inc.
Program Name: Circles Palm Beach County
Overview: Circles Palm Beach County is an initiative that creates the framework
for people to build intentional relationships across economic and class lines with
the goal of ending poverty in their community.
Services: Circles provides a comprehensive program for people who are willing
and ready to move out of poverty. Through a 15-18 week Circles Training Class,
goals and future plans are mapped out and coupled with tools to secure and
retain better jobs. We also assist clients with emergency assistance (i.e., rent,
utilities, etc.) and/or connect with community resource to meet need.
Once people complete the class, they are called Circle Leaders and are matched
with two community volunteers (middle to upper income individuals) known as
Allies. Circles provides weekly meetings that Circle Leaders attend until they
have reached their goals.
The following is our structure:
I. Recruit and Train Circle Leaders
Circle Leader Recruitment
The Circles Coordinator along with the Circles Coach and Guiding Coalition members arrange
meetings with organizations that they see as likely sources of referrals. This might be staff
members within their own organizations,faith-based organizations, Department of Human
Services, Head Start, public school system, low-income health clinics, etc. In later phases, Circle
Leaders themselves often become the most powerful source of referrals.
The Circles Coordinator then contacts each referred individual to clarify the expectations of a
Circle Leader and, if appropriate, schedule the interview with the Recruitment Team (Guiding
Coalition members, Community Members and Circle Leader graduates).
Circle Leader Training
Circle Leader training is intended to develop an aspirational culture among participants, so that
they can begin to see themselves as leaders who can spearhead positive change in their own
lives and for their community. The Training consists of 11 modules and usually takes 15-18
weeks. The training tools include understanding the process of change, setting and achieving
SMART goals, understanding foundational finance concepts, exploring culture and diversity in
order to build healthy relationships and participating in Big View Meetings.
II. Recruit and Train Allies
Ally Recruitment
The Circles Coordinator along with the Circles Coach and the Guiding Coalition Recruitment
Team arrange meetings with their business associations, acquaintances, social contacts,
contacts in their faith community, or neighborhood connections, and present the invitation to
commit to working to end poverty in the community. This team also recruits from service
clubs, medical community, retired professionals, service providers, etc. Facilitating Poverty
Simulations for these various groups also proves to recruit committed volunteers.
The Circles Coordinator then contacts each referred individual to clarify the expectations of an
Ally and invites them to an Ally orientation where they can learn more about the Circles
initiative, meet Circle Leaders and members of the Guiding Coalition and decide how and if they
want to be involved.
Ally Training
Becoming a Circle Ally usually leads to a transformation of self that is usually not expected or
anticipated by the volunteers. So, the hardest work for most Circle Allies is letting go of
preconceived notions about why people are poor or having to face one's own fears about
becoming poor. Allies typically progress through a five-step training series. The series includes
what is poverty and why does it exist, leadership mindset and skills, healthy relationships and
communication, community change and participating in Big View.
Ill. Weekly Meetings
Weekly Community meetings are the heart of Circles. They are a key place where relationships
are built, interactions across class lines occur, and people become part of community. One of
the Circles Commitments is that the initiative hosts a weekly meeting open to Circle Leaders
and Allies. The purpose of these meetings is to build community, peer support, and provide a
weekly focus on attaining self-sufficiency. Weekly meetings include a meal, childcare and/or
youth program, and content for adults that is relevant to all in attendance.
Weekly meetings are also a model of community and reciprocity. One of the important ways
we do this is by providing people with a structured opportunity to contribute to the smooth
running of the meeting.
IV. Match Circles
Experience has shown that the best matches between Circle Leaders and Circle Allies are based
on common interests. This makes sense when we remember that the goal is to build
relationships across class lines. Circles is a structured and supportive approach for people to
befriend each other. Focusing on shared interest moves everyone out of the fixing or helping
mode and into the "let's be friends" mode.
At the first orientation for both Circle Allies and Circle Leaders, an interest survey is distributed.
Once the survey is returned, the Circles Coach can assist with matching the Circle Leader with
Allies in one of the key areas of the Circle Leader's plan. Matches are made according to family
circumstances, strengths and interests.
V. Monthly Big View Meetings
Big View meetings, which are used for community awareness and action, typically begins 1-2
years after Circle Leaders and Allies have been involved in Circles. A key component of Circles is
intervening at both the individual and community level to end poverty. By facilitating and
supporting intentional relationships across socioeconomic lines, we build a community of caring
people who want to end poverty. Community members who have been prepared through a
series of orientations are organized into Circles around families working to get out of poverty.
These families have also received orientation and made commitments to leadership
development, community involvement and reciprocity. People organize into teams to take on
obstacles that one Circle cannot tackle alone, such as lack of living wages, affordable housing,
affordable child care, and affordable transportation. This is Big View.

matching funds. Please place C=Cash,S=Sweat Equity,O=Other Grants,D=Donations beside each
