Mission
Through circus and theatre arts education, the Prescott Circus Theatre’s mission is to empower and engage youth as they develop confidence, teamwork, perseverance, artistic talent, and a dedication to working for success. By providing professional training, unique curriculum, and a safe environment for under-served youth, our Oakland-based non-profit youth development organization promotes skill mastery, physical activity, positive relationships with peers and adults, and opportunities to shine for the community.
Vision
Our vision is to create a community where families and young people receive the highest quality education and resources that enable them to build successful, creative, productive, safe and effective lives for multiple generations.
We envision Prescott Circus Theatre’s programs enabling youth to expand their creativity and sense of self while learning essential life skills to prepare them for productive and accomplished lives.
We envision families and youth living in peace-filled, violence-free communities where their dreams of self-determination, artistry and accomplishment are realized through hard work, academic rigor, responsibility, self-awareness and creative problem solving.
We envision a culturally inclusive curriculum that embraces the history and ancestral roots of our students and is woven into our daily pedagogical practices.
We envision that regardless of circumstances, every young person will have the opportunity to succeed
