Its mission is to engage and educate students using unique and innovative learning programs; to measurably improve the quality of life for individuals in care communities; and to advance the extraordinary legacy and heritage of the circus. Year-round outreach programs serve children through the Education Program, the elderly and those in care facilities through the Humor Therapy Program, and the Sailor Circus Academy.
