In March 2009, the Dayton Circles Campaign was launched! There are many organizations, agencies, government entities and faith-based organizations involved in ending poverty in the Greater Dayton Area. Currently there are three neighborhoods of Dayton that are organizing to launch a Getting Ahead Class. There is a 30 person active Guiding Coalition and we have two remarkable Community Champions - John White and State Senator Fred Strayhorn.
The first Getting Ahead Leadership Class will begin in June 2009 with weekly meetings beginning in September. We are working diligently with all community partners to ensure that Dayton Circles is a success.
If you are interested in joining the Campaign or would like to learn more about the initiative, please contact John White at john@thinktank-inc.org or (937) 219-4473.
