Two weeks ago it was my birthday. Amy wanted us to do something fun and new in Chicago, so she surprised me with trapeze lessons. Unfortunately, she forgot that I have an elbow injury that would make doing such things a bit painful. We called the place to see if they could give us a credit for future lessons, and they were able to. While I certainly didn’t want to mess up my elbow more, I have to admit that the idea of soaring through the air scares me a little bit. Maybe if I had been exposed to acrobatics at an early age through a program like AcroSports, I would have had a better attitude about trying trapeze lessons. They are a San Francisco, CA based “non-profit organization whose mission is to teach and develop the physical, performing, and circus arts.” They’ve been at it for two decades now serving their “community in a safe, positive environment, offering activities that encourage teamwork and build strengths and self-esteem, and enhancing life’s experience.”
I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been to a circus for more than 20 years. While the animals always grabbed my attention, it was the acrobats that impressed me the most. I always thought you had to be born into a circus family to learn those kinds of acrobatics, but it turns out that programs like AcroSports open these skills up to all kinds of people. Today AcroSports is serving more than 2,500 children and adults through a variety of different classes, outreach programs, parties, and even a high-level performance training program. I’ve seen a lot of non-profits, but I haven’t seen one like AcroSports until today. If you’d like join them, take a look at their Careers page. They have coaching positions available, and there’s also a Marketing & Communications Manager position posted on Idealist. The experience requirements are a bit beyond what we usually cover, but it’s still worth checking out.
