Last week, the entire Roca staff participated in 12 hours of circle training—8 simultaneous circles at program sites in CT, MA and MD—aimed at deepening our understanding of circles and Roca’s four core values of Compassion ❤️, Safety 🛡️, Honesty 💬, and Transformation 🦋. Roca first learned the practice of circles from the Tagish First Nations people more than 20 years ago. Since then, we have used circles for many purposes, including strengthening our culture and relationships with each other 👥, and addressing conflicts between participants and supporting their healing, personal growth, and re-entry 🔁 #CircleTraining #rocainc #corevalues

Larry Miller is the chairman of Nike’s Jordan Brand Advisory Board and is currently one of the most successful businessmen in the country. But as a teenager in West Philly, he was a lot like the high-risk young people who Roca serves. Larry will be the keynote speaker of our Annual Breakfast on 5.3.24. We can't wait to hear what he has to say! https://hubs.la/Q02srV150 RSVP for Roca's Breakfast today: https://hubs.la/Q02srTLp0
