What if circus could be a stepping stone to rebuilding confidence, finding your voice and reclaiming your place?

The “Building Futures Through Circus” project will allow us to reach young people aged 15 to 21 living at the Cité-des-Prairies Rehabilitation Centre in Montréal. Starting in February 2027, social circus workshops will give young people the opportunity to explore issues that affect them, including mental and physical health, substance use prevention, identities and relationships.

Through a social circus approach, the project aims to improve the living conditions of young people transitioning to adulthood, strengthen their sense of safety and belonging, and build stronger support networks.

Our $20,000 goal will be doubled to $40,000 thanks to the Fonds Mille et UN pour la jeunesse!

“This is the first time I’ve been cheered on.”

Imagine: thanks to you, human beings are getting cheered on for the very first time in their lives. Thanks to you, young people are better able to juggle life’s ups and downs.

They develop friendships, talents, discipline, confidence and ultimately, realize their full potential. When you recognize that you are worth something, it is much easier to believe that you can find a place to live, or that you can make an appointment with a social worker. Gradually, young people find meaning in their lives.

At Cirque Hors Piste, we help marginalized youth. We work small miracles (and many acrobatics) on limited means. But we need a minimum.

We need your support. And besides, it’s good for karma!

Add a spark in the eyes – and hearts – of dozens of other young people as they discover social circus. Donate.

At Cirque Hors Piste, 93% of your donations go directly to young people. On everyone’s behalf, thank you for being part of the magic!
