The Campfire Circle program is an opportunity for individuals to make a powerful and direct impact on our community and youth that we serve. Youth who join City Kids are looking for a supportive community, consistency, and mentors that will help them navigate the often difficult transitions from adolescence through young adulthood. As leadership partners in our work, Campfire Circle members will have the opportunity to directly tie their individual impact to long-term stability and support for our youth.
