Ending Poverty From the Inside Out

Established in the fall of 2001, A Wider Circle is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating change from the inside out. Their programs address the inner and outer needs of adults and children challenged by homelessness, poverty, substance abuse, and other health and social issues.

A Wider Circle is involved in a number of programs, all of which share two major components:

Inner Work focuses on helping adults and children manage stress, build healthy self esteem, and understand how to utilize their inner resources to create a desired reality for themselves. Workshops and written materials educate people on the power of visualization and positive imagery; the importance of wellness; stress, anxiety, and anger management; and the empowering insights of the mind-body connection.

Community Outreach events provide assistance on many levels – from furniture and clothing deliveries to building gardens, painting, and the beautification of neglected areas – in an effort to help individuals and families have the opportunity to live well and make healthy lifestyle choices.

A Wider Circle is primarily a volunteer-based organization, with over 300 individuals currently helping to deliver a wide range or programs and services. Our volunteer pool grows on a weekly basis! Interns come from local (and sometimes distant) universities as well as from the community, at large. Along with the Executive Director, they help manage the daily activities of the organization. It is the synergy of everyone involved with A Wider Circle that has allowed us to grow in service of our fellow human beings.
