It has been a busy month for the Circles Team. We have been planning our Cultural Circles of Change event for April 21st. Community Facilitators and community members will be sharing what we have been learning about ways to approach our unique and diverse communities. We are hosting community events to learn more about the community history and the events that have shaped them, fostered resilience and forged strengths. We believe that a culturally responsive lens is vital to meeting the needs of racialized and isolated and underserviced communities.

We have opened the registration on Eventbrite. If you are interested in attending, here is the link.
