 Community Action Duluth
Getting Ahead Program: This transformational program, which is part of the Circles of Support program, will assist those in Duluth trying to get out of poverty. Learn more on their website. Funded in part by the Community Opportunity Fund.

Circles of Support Program: This education-based program is designed to erase the impact of isolation that accompanies poverty. By intentionally building relationships with disregard for class, race, age and gender lines, Circles of Support strives to break down the typical stereotypes that are associated with poverty and redefine what it means to be “poor.” Learn more on their website.
