Gem R11/13/20225I truly wish more kids had access to organizations like Circesteem where they could learn, get active, and form a sense of community with their peers. The staff is outstanding and very friendly. It's by far the best work I've ever had. I've been a tutor here for two years, I think. I genuinely love being a tutor and growing as a person in the process. The kids are continuously teaching me a new circus trick. Overall, this location is pretty fantastic.Show more
Maine M09/12/20225What a FANTASTIC company! CircEsteem places a strong emphasis on participant inclusion and self-esteem. Chicago's youngsters are fortunate to have this group, and the neighborhood is fortunate to see the happy smiles and great skills on display during concerts. Do yourself a favor and go to a CircEsteem event if you haven't already!Show more
Kate P09/04/20225CircEsteem is just wonderful! The people I've worked with here as a tutor over the past year have all had a really great influence on me. Youth in my neighborhood need this organization so much because it gives them a place to grow, learn, and support one another. Seriously, this is the coolest spot. I've been greeted with open arms by all of the students, teachers, and other tutors I've worked with, and I couldn't be more appreciative of the kindness:)Show more
Sanna B08/21/20225CircEsteem has been a part of my children's lives for seven and three years, respectively. They have grown and developed in the circus in ways I haven't seen them elsewhere; they have gained courage, grit, self-worth, and empathy for others. Although neither of my children spoke English when they first arrived in this country, they quickly discovered that circus was a place that welcomed and accepted them, giving them the opportunity to create their first (and still most important) social networks.Show more
Bim U06/13/20225We are CircEsteem's recurring customers. My kids have found their programming to be quite enjoyable, and they run a useful program. With all the Covid security measures in place, we recently celebrated their birthday with them and it was a beautiful occasion. My daughters have liked the activities at their summer camp as well.Show more
