Mission Statement

Uprise Circus uses circus arts to teach vulnerable teens how to overcome challenging situations and develop valuable social skills. Our programming teaches perseverance, promotes cooperation, and builds a community of supporters. Curriculum is supported by development experts who produce programming & evaluate progress.

Description

When we first learned of the need for social circus with disadvantaged children in Central Texas, we knew we had to do something.

Circus of Hope was a social circus active from 2013-2018; our nonprofit Uprise Circus was created to fill the need when they closed and expand it to serve a broader group of teens.

The all-female founders and friends share a passion for helping kids, love of circus, and commitment to making an impact on their community.
