The Team
At the heart of One Circle Foundation is our dedicated team of eight—the backbone of our mission. With decades of combined experience participating in and facilitating Circles, our team aspires to advance the access to these models everywhere. Their passion, expertise, depth of care, and commitment make our work possible, making sure that every training, curriculum, and initiative empowers those who support youth.
