Founder & CEO, Project Circles of Support Carlotta M. Burton is the visionary founder and CEO of Project Circles of Support, a dignity‑centered initiative dedicated to strengthening families, expanding hygiene equity, and ensuring that individuals facing crisis or transition receive compassionate, culturally responsive care. Rooted in her belief that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported, Carlotta has built an organization that blends practical resources with emotional wellbeing.

A community health worker in behavioral health and a graduate of Fontbonne University, Carlotta brings a trauma‑informed lens to every program she develops. Her work spans mental health, grief support, domestic‑violence response, hygiene access, and family‑centered outreach—always guided by the principle that dignity is a foundational human need.

 

Through Project Circles of Support, she has created programs that uplift girls, teens, women, and families experiencing hardship, including the Go Wit Da Flo hygiene initiative, safe‑sleep education, and grief‑support resources. Carlotta is known for her collaborative approach to community engagement. She partners with schools, shelters, hospitals, faith communities, and behavioral‑health providers across the St. Louis region to ensure families receive consistent, wraparound support. Her leadership style is marked by empathy, innovation, and a deep commitment to listening to the lived experiences of those she serves.

 

Under her direction, Project Circles of Support has become a trusted resource for families navigating crisis, offering hygiene kits, educational tools, and dignity‑centered programming that reduces barriers and strengthens community resilience. Carlotta’s work continues to expand through partnerships, advocacy, and a mission to eliminate hygiene disparities by 2030.

 

A wife, mother, and faith‑centered leader, Carlotta’s personal values shape her professional mission: to build circles of support that restore hope, honor dignity, and empower families to thrive.
