This will take several steps including: Exploring the causes of povertyTalking about possible solutionsSelecting strategies that fit our community, and Working together for changeWhen we have finished the process, we will have a Community Action Plan that we have developed together that fits our community’s vision and needs.
- Turning the Tide on Poverty Community Circles helps with all of these barriers by welcoming everyone, providing a clear process, helping people understand how an issue related to them personally, and creating a community-wide partnership that joins citizens and leaders together to address community issues.
