August Newsletter

Message from Our E.D.

July was a full month at One Circle Foundation. We attended the American School Counselors Association conference, launched updated and new digital curricula, celebrated one of our staff members getting married, welcomed two new members to our Board of Directors, and connected with countless organizations and facilitators to provide support, training, and resources from all over the US and a few folks from Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, and Canada. Supporting facilitators, communities, and youth is what we live for at One Circle Foundation. We’re proliferators of Circle guardians worldwide, and we are here to support you in this work. Here’s to a great first half of 2024. Onward and upward.

Give the Gift of Connection

Your monthly donation of $20 will support One Circle Foundation’s Scholarship Fund!  

At One Circle Foundation, we believe every youth and teen deserves the opportunity to develop resiliency through healthy connections. Unfortunately, many youth-serving organizations in under-resourced and under-served communities lack the financial resources to provide the training and curricula necessary to make this possible.  

That's where One Circle Foundation comes in. With each dollar donated, we can provide training and curricula scholarships to these organizations, giving youth and teens in these communities the chance to thrive.  

We invite you to support this crucial work by becoming a sustaining donor through a recurring monthly or yearly donation. Your contribution will significantly impact the lives of young people in need. Become a Sustaining Donor today.
