The Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles is embarking on a bold capital campaign to build a state-of-the-art youth center in the heart of our community. This new facility will serve as a permanent home for music education and performance, after-school academic tutoring and mentorship, and leadership and life skills development—expanding ICYOLA’s ability to serve young people across Los Angeles. Located at 2045 West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the center will stand as a lasting investment in access, excellence, and opportunity.

This campaign is about more than a building—it is about creating a space where young musicians can learn, grow, and thrive without financial barriers. Your contribution, at any level, directly supports the creation of a safe, inspiring environment where creativity is nurtured and futures are built. Together, we can ensure that generations of students have access to transformative music education and the resources they need to succeed on and off the stage.

Donations may be made by mail by sending a check payable to “Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles” or “ICYOLA,” noting the purpose of your gift on the memo line, and mailing it to 6820 S. La Tijera Blvd., Suite 106, Los Angeles, CA 90045. All contributions are tax-deductible and will be gratefully acknowledged (EIN: 45-3622466). ICYOLA also welcomes capital and sponsorship partners; for more information, please contact info@icyola.org.
