  • Make at least a one-year commitment at the Circles site of your choice: American Fork or Provo
  • Pass and pay for a background check ($30)
  • Attend two Ally trainings in preparation for your service as an Ally

What do I gain as an Ally?

  • Two trainings to prepare you for your role and help you better understand poverty culture
  • Dinner and a children’s program provided for you and your family at each evening Circles meeting
  • The chance to build relationships with other Circle Leaders and Allies
  • Support from staff on site who can mediate concerns, provide advice, and direct to resources
  • The opportunity to witness the impact of your volunteer work and to make a long-lasting difference in the local community
We continually need individuals or families in Provo and American Fork to be part of Circles Utah Valley. They will be matched with families trying to better their lives and become self-reliant.
