Circles Carbon County – Poverty Reduction Lab

Overview

The Circles Carbon County project combines evidence-based agency programing/getting ahead work with community-level work being achieved through the Poverty Reduction Lab (PRL) – one of only 4 currently in the county. The PRL is a strategic task force that convenes community leaders in an environment of radical collaboration. The PRL is made up of community volunteers from public, private, community, faith based, and educational institutions. The collaborative group identifies systemic barriers that individuals and community groups face as they attempt to move out of poverty and propose policies to overcome those barriers.
