GALWAY COMMUNITY CIRCUS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Description
Our tutor assistants play an integral role at Galway Community Circus. They work closely with our team and support them in the running of our circus program. Their tutor tasks include but are not limited to: - co-preparing class schedules; - contributing to in-class activities; - participating in summer camps and outreach workshops; - assisting lead tutors in various administrative tasks; - assisting in the maintenance of our Circus Hall. During classes our ESC tutors may interact with toddlers, youth members, adults, and whole families. Our ESC tutors are encouraged to develop themselves creatively. Their work hours include working on a personal project that contributes something meaningful to the Circus community. GCC also offers our tutor assistants the chance to train and learn any new (circus) artist skills. They receive opportunities to perform throughout the program and to lead small productions. Our tutor assistants volunteer 38 hours a week.
