First and foremost, Circuit Rider is the name under which our organization was founded in 1976. But what is a circuit rider? Historically, judges, doctors, and ministers travelled established routes or “circuits” in order to deliver their services to as many people as possible, literally meeting them where they were. Our name, Circuit Rider, was originally chosen in the same spirit of diversified service delivery to our community — meeting our clients where they were physically and emotionally. Still our mission today, we are proud to return to our original roots and name.
