aha! Process, Inc. is working in partnership with
Move the Mountain
and
Wider Opportunities for Women
in communities nationwide to build relationships across class
and racial lines to end poverty.
These three organizations are working toward the extraordinary—an end to poverty.
The approach is simple: Engaging people from poverty and middle
class in the Circles™ Campaign to work together on their
dreams, plans, and goals.
The Circles™ Model
The Circles™ Model
aims to (1) change the mindset of the
community so it wants to and thinks it can end poverty; (2) change the
goals (policy, law) of the system to end poverty; and (3) empower people
to self-organize.
Circles™ Model in Action

are working together as a community.
“We were kind of leery at first. We thought we would be judged. It was
shocking that it didn’t happen. This year has totally changed us.”
—Michelle Ridge, Circles™ Leader from Saline County, Missouri.
