COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Circus Center partners with schools and community organizations to offer circus arts activities to underserved young people. This year, we continued and grew our after-school program at a center for economically disadvantaged children. We also continued our regular series of community open houses to provide low-barrier introductions to the world of circus. And for those young people who get bit by the circus bug, we offer generous need-based financial assistance and other support for their participation in all of our on-site youth programming.
