Outreach & Good KarmaNECCA offers to the community what we call Good Karma performances. These are very low key shows at places like the Thompson House (an old folks home) and the Gathering Place (an adult day care facility).
The show time is usually midday on a weekday, and because ceilings are low, tend to consist of juggling, partner acrobatics, handbalancing, contortion, etc.
NECCA is also involved in extensive outreach:
Full scholarships to circus camps for foster children through the Northeastern Family Institute
- Circus classes for developmentally challenged and deaf students from the Austine School for the Deaf
- An Advanced Youth Troupe program for students age 7 - 17 years who perform in support of other non profit organization's fundraisers
- Weekly juggling classes for at risk youth through the Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro
- Winter Sports programs for area schools
- Over 30 classes weekly to recreational students of all levels within our community as well as advanced classes and private instruction for aspiring circus artists and current performers honing their craft
- Professional Training programs with 26 full time students from around the world

"I love the NECCA teachers' work, their passion, and their amazing attention to details where safety is concerned... I've grown as a person and as an aerialist just from being associated with them."
