"Equipping young men to live with Purpose, Identity, and Hope."
📣 A Message from Our President
Nick Vann
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)
Letting boys learn of and embrace God, serve the community, and appreciate God's wonderful creation is a great cornerstone for a powerful foundation as the boys grow and mature. It is our prayer that Three Circles Foundation is providing God's love and strength as the boys grow and develop.
Over the last couple of months, Three Circles Foundation held camps in both Floyd and Chattooga counties. It was extremely rewarding to be part of both events, led by the camp directors and supported by our dedicated volunteers. Hosted by Christian businessmen and women, both events reflected how God is at the center and focus of their respective businesses.
The Three Circles boys were able to see firsthand the beef cattle operation at Mulls Double J Ranch in Silver Creek, GA, and the missional heart behind Brinkley’s Pine Ridge Outdoor Supply in Lyerly, GA. It is humbling to witness the love of Jesus being poured out by staff and volunteers so dedicated to the mission of Three Circles. Each of us has one or more gifts of the Holy Spirit, and when we combine those gifts, we become a mighty force for Christ in the lives of the youth we serve.
“As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God... that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10–11 (NKJV)
May God bless you all,
Nick Vann President, Three Circles Foundation

🎓 Training the Team: TBRI Volunteer Development
Instructor-led Training
To serve youth from hard places well, we invest in our people. Through Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), our team is gaining tools for trauma-informed care and Christ-centered mentorship.

We believe that when the caregivers are equipped, the impact multiplies and every young person receives care rooted in trust and grace.
💛 Support the Mission: Give Hope Monthly
Take Part in Changing Lives
Lives are being changed through the work of Three Circles Foundation, but we cannot do it without faithful partners like you. Every Day Camp, every Truth Talk, and every moment of mentorship is made possible through generosity.
While one-time gifts are always welcome and deeply appreciated, the most impactful way to support our mission is through monthly giving.
Will You Become a Monthly Supporter
Would you consider becoming a monthly supporter at $50 per month?
This amount helps cover the cost of sending one young man to a monthly Day Camp, where he receives biblical teaching, life skills, mentorship, and purpose-filled experiences.
We also welcome larger gifts and special donations. However you choose to give, you are investing in something eternal.
