Welcome!

Zip Zap Circus USA is a not-for-profit, volunteer-based charitable organization dedicated to supporting and promoting transformational social circus initiatives that are making a difference to young people and communities in South Africa and the USA.

Our work in the USA has two main tracks:

1) Raising funds to support Zip Zap programs in South Africa. These funds pay for coaches, equipment and operating expenses for Zip
Zap social circus programs, ensuring that Zip Zap can always be available to any young person who wants to participate, without cost or expense.

2) Conducting and supporting social circus activities in the USA. Beginning with our pilot partnership with Cirque du Soleil and Higher Achievement in Washington, DC, we intend to introduce the magic of circus to young people for whom it can make a powerful difference. We are looking for opportunities to build new partnerships between member of the circus community and youth empowerment organizations, creating sustainable programs based on the Zip Zap model.

We need you. Please join us as a Zip Zap partner:

1) Conduct a personal or community fundraising campaign to support Zip Zap programs.
2) Start a Zip Zap Circus club at your school or in your community.
3) Become a coach for an existing Zip Zap social circus youth program.
3) Help Zip Zap USA as an organizer or office volunteer.
4) Link up with and support youth or social circus organizations in your own community.
5) Use your imagination! Come up with your own magical form of participation.

For more information about any of these opportunities, or to discuss new ideas, please contact us. We love to talk circus.
