We are thrilled to have 2 available seats on the Circus Center's Board of Directors in San Francisco.
As a member of the board of Directors at the Circus Center, you have a unique opportunity to further the vision seeded in 1974 when The Pickle Family Circus was founded. We are part of a 30+ year history, rich with fostering recreational and professional training and performance that has, in turn, successfully inspired a new generation of circus performers and enthusiasts. As a board, we aim to continue the hard work of those who came before us, setting the school up for success and moving into the future. We are fostering a vibrant hub for the circus community on the West Coast, employing circus professionals, providing pre-professional and recreational training for all ages, producing performances, maintaining space for professional rehearsals, investing in social circus outreach programs for under-resourced locations, and much much more. Together, these activities infuse the San Francisco performing arts scene with a much-needed dose of circus.
The Board’s Job
The essential role of the Board of Directors is to provide governance to Circus Center, a 501(c)(3) organization. Our job, therefore, is direction and oversight to make sure that Circus Center can answer "yes" to questions like:
Are we serving our mission? Are we managing money effectively? Are we compliant with applicable regulations and safety standards?
The Board’s other important responsibility is hiring, supporting, and overseeing the Executive Director and Head of School.
We're a diverse group of creative, passionate, dedicated people doing our part to share the joy of circus in all its forms with the community together. And we look forward to meeting YOU!
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
