Every gift moves us closer to a more just, connected, and equitable future. 


CIRCLE exists to nurture youth leadership from a place rooted in culturally responsive wellness practices because we see belonging as a ‘basic need’ critical to improving youth mental health. CIRCLE introduces youth to care practices, such as sensory tapping, journaling, somatic movement and inclusive mental health care resources that emphasize well-being is integral to leadership and activism. CIRCLE's program prepares youth long term, many STAMP student leaders have stated, “CIRCLE taught me that my well-being matters just as much as my activism.”

This looks like ~  

  • Young leaders gaining the skills to advocate for change while learning how to best care for themselves (and their communities) in the process
  • Intergenerational sharing of wisdom and lived experiences through intentional connections 
  • Communities growing stronger through dialogue, trust building. and action 


CIRCLE is celebrating 10 years as a 501(c)(3). We are an investment you can trust.

Mission

CIRCLE’s mission is to improve the well-being of Coloradans by co-creating inclusive, responsive spaces reflective of the diverse, local community needs. CIRCLE was founded with the vision to provide culturally responsive practices that support mental health and personal agency for primarily BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+ youth and adults. CIRCLE believes the youth are not only the leaders of the future, but the leaders of today. This makes our intentional multigenerational programming critical to supporting the development of one's personal sense of power, pride, and ability to care (both for self & community).

The primary main way CIRCLE accomplishes this is through our youth leadership programs for 7-12th grade students, known as STAMP (Students Taking Action, Making Progress). Our STAMP programs include a student-led conference, 50-hour Youth Leadership Intensive (YLI) leadership intensive certificate-training with a multigenerational capstone, immersive summer camps, and post-secondary opportunities for alumni as they navigate early adulthood. Our STAMP programs are ongoing, out-of-school opportunities to support 250 young people’s well-being annually. CIRCLE serves as a trusted resource and space for individuals who deeply seek to create a future rooted in love and justice. Those who participate with CIRCLE leave knowing they have purpose, a sense of belonging and are needed in this world.

Background Statement

CIRCLE is an organization that grew out of grassroots commitment on the part of members of our team to building inclusive communities in our respective roles as educators, non-profit professionals, and business leaders.
