Who We Are
Unity Circles envisions a world where where individuals and communities affected by the carceral systems are active participants in their own healing. Our approach is multi-faceted, combining community engagement, education, and advocacy to create a ripple effect of positive change.
Unite.
Lead.
Transform.
Facts & Figures:
Based off of North American Indigenous traditions and Southern African Ubuntu philosophy, Unity Circles believes that all people are inherently interconnected; that through this connection we can heal and transform to become our best selves.
Our circle models and interventions are designed from evidence-based principles and practices, incorporating cultural responsiveness, strength-based approaches and healing-centered practices.
