What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., is now recognized in November as Native American Heritage Month. Nevada particularly has a rich Native American history, with three tribes — the Washoe, Paiutes and Sho-sho-ne — as being among the first when Europeans visited the area.
In the Carson City and Northern Nevada region, the Washoe tribe dates back at least 9,000 years, with its presence extending to the Lake Tahoe Basin and adjacent east and west slopes and valleys of the Sierra Nevada. Read more here from the Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Circles is recruiting allies (volunteers) who would like to befriend a family in poverty and, through friendship and support, change the way the family/individual experiences life.

AN ALLY HAS THREE PRIMARY GOALS:

To make an intentional friendship with a family in poverty and join them in their journey to self-sufficiency, serving as their support system in our community.

To identify one's own stereotypes and class rules and examine how this affects our interactions with families in poverty.
