Carlisle Victory Circle Inc. strives to address racism in two major ways, by:

  • creating school and community awareness around issues of diversity.
  • trying to provide strength, hope, and vision to students who need the help of concerned adults in order to overcome the barriers of racism, classism, poverty

Carlisle Victory Circle tries to create awareness for diversity appreciation by awarding an annual Institutional Diversity Award, by distributing diversity materials throughout the community, and by helping to develop a new program for youth called REACH. Victory Circle also supports students with college scholarships, scholarships for theater troupes, SAT preparation, and college application fee waivers. 

The Victory Circle Club at Carlisle High School offers extra supportive services and resources to students. They also have a program in collaboration with Dickinson College students, which provides tutoring and mentoring to students.
