Our partners
Our goals are far too ambitious to achieve alone.
That’s why CIRCLE partners with local organizations that know their communities best and who will continue the work long after we leave.
In Canada, we also rely on the passion, knowledge, and support of partners, both big and small. From global agencies to individuals like you, together we can build a better, more equal world for everyone. Contact us to learn more.
