The Circus Project is a 501c3 that enables homeless and at-risk youth to develop their physical and emotional integrity, by providing intensive skill training in circus and performing arts, with an emphasis on empowerment, personal development, and relationship building. We encourage youth participants to create and direct their personal stories in innovative and artistic ways, and offer them an opportunity to reach out to the community through the production of original, theatrical performances.

We believe in art as a powerful vehicle for transformation which cuts across social barriers to inspire new perspectives and creative solutions to conflict. Given the tools to express themselves and a safe space in which to experiment, we believe that marginalized youth will demonstrate profound insight and genuine ability, while contributing significantly to their communities.
