Skilly Circus is Cynthia Rauschert and all of the wonderful people who invite and participate in classes, workshops, events and PLAY.
Skilly Circus endeavors to share the gift of circus empowerment with everyone regardless of financial ability. Until not-for-profit status is obtained, or a fiscal sponsor is found, Cynthia accepts scholarship students without funding, and donates time/services to a variety of organizations including Oakland International High School, Girls Inc., Exceptional Needs Network, Luna Dance Institute, and EOBA Smart Moves.

This page is in development, but the most relavent for now:
- Skilly Circus and all of its students are fully insured for accidental injury, liability, et al.
- We operate as a Learning for Life group (ages 7-13) and Explorer Post(ages 14-20) through the Boy Scouts of America. Our post number is 26 for both groups. Joining Skilly Circus does not mean that you become a member of the BSA, we are simply affiliated and as a result they give our students insurance, scholarships, and awards. Isn't that nice?
- Head Coach and High Mucky Muck, Cynthia Rauschert, has all of her shots and Live Scan (fingerprints) and all that lovely stuff you need to get if you're serious about working with kids.
- She recently passed the CBEST exam and will soon be a certified substitute teacher in California
- Cynthia is a volunteer clown at Kaiser Oakland
- Incidentally she also has a BA in Theatrical Clowning and has spent some time on the road with Cirque du Soliel
