Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation will provide free Mariachi Summer Camps and a free year-round Ensemble where 350 youth from historically underserved communities will learn music fundamentals and cultural practices of this culturally responsive art form while developing and deepening vital life skills. These programs deliver much-needed free music education and engagement to underserved youth during critical out-of-school hours, helping them to discover and develop their unique talents, foster their personal identity, and build their communication and teamwork skills. Working with outstanding teaching artists and mentors through a culturally significant creative outlet, youth achieve success, gain confidence, build healthy relationships, and learn new arts skills. Instruction, instruments, meals, uniforms, books, and academic tutoring are provided at no cost to the students or their families.
