Last year was our 12th year of of service to the most vulnerable children and adults in our nation’s capital region; we furnished the homes of 4,250 families. The average family size of those we serve is 3.5 and the average annual income – from all sources – is about $12,000. We serve the neediest of the needy. We have big goals for being a force in the movement to end poverty. Our National Conference on Ending Poverty brought presented from all over the country to talk about programs that are working - and how we can all work together to end poverty.
For the past 12 years, A Wider Circle has helped families on the journey out of poverty through the provision of basic need items and free life skills education programming.
A Wider Circle is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that hires 15-20 unpaid interns each semester to work out of our Center for Community Service in Silver Spring. Interns are truly the lifeblood of our organization. In addition to direct service and education internships, there are business, marketing, research, and strategic planning internships available. We request that interns commit to working at least 15 hours per week (the average is closer to 25). Students interested in our internships may contact us at intern@awidercircle.org.
