Our Impact

Building Healthy Relationships Since 1996

The Circle Education works to create communities where everyone feels welcome and respected, and where healthy relationships are the foundation.

Our Approach

  • Deliver innovative, evidence-based social-emotional programs for children, youth, and adults, both in-school and after-school
  • Train and support teachers and facilitators to help them promote positive mental health and create safe, respectful spaces
  • Empower youth to become mentors and leaders through peer-led initiatives, fostering confidence and positive relationships
  • Collaborate across sectors to address youth well-being, especially where gaps in local government support exist
  • Engage in public outreach that connects our work to the wider community, increases knowledge, fosters meaningful connections, and creates spaces for sharing experiences that can positively influence attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs

Our Evidence-Based Programs Create a Ripple Effect

  • Improved communication and conflict resolution skills among participants
  • Increased empathy and respect across peer groups and classrooms
  • Reduced incidents of bullying, discrimination, and harmful behaviors
  • Positive, lasting impact on mental health, relationships, and academic success
  • Stronger, more inclusive communities that support youth and families

Video: Pass It On Boys Program

"I think that it just helps me learn to be a better person. It's a time - after a whole school day of putting up a front - to sit in a group of people and kind of peel off the masks and actually just have a genuine conversation without any sort of filter or agenda behind it. It’s super special to me because I get to connect." -Youth Participant in The Circle's Pass-It-On program
