Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The circus project was founded on a simple yet innovative idea: that the unique appeal of circus arts can benefit marginalized youth in unprecedented ways - and that in turn, their unique perspectives would propel the growing field of circus arts to new heights. What began in 2008 as a pioneering experiment to empower homeless youth through the development of original, skilled circus productions, has grown organically into a thriving arts organization that serves a diverse community through a public academy, professional performances, and a spectrum of social circus programs that utilize circus arts for individual and community transformation. Each of these programs support and enhance the others, working on multiple levels to promote personal development, artistry, and social justice.

To use circus arts as a catalyst for individual and collective transformation.
