They are responsible for creating the welcoming environment that we have all come to know and love at Circles.  They promote a sense of unity by overseeing the meals we share together before our weekly meetings.  The Team also serves the children of our Circles Leaders by providing weekly programs with learning activities that help build meaningful relationships and teach life skills.
