Stronger Together (formerly Circles)
The Wellington County Stronger Together program is innovative. It creates a framework for people to build intentional relationships across the community with the goal of ending poverty, a program of social inclusion and social capital building.
Stronger Together is a peer-to-peer supportive environment, with facilitators with lived experience. The group empowers each other to reach their own desired goals, with the ultimate goal of being financially self-sufficient over time. With the help of The Wellington County Learning Centre, Stronger Together can provide people with the resources, tools, skills, connections and learning opportunities to help individuals and families tackle a problem or make progress towards their goals.
