Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $56,991 spent. The San Fernando Valley Youth Chorus expanded its reach through satellite choir programs at two schools and the Boys and Girls Club. Providing high-quality music education and choral experiences directly on campus. These programs focused on developing vocal technique, musicianship, teamwork, and confidence while giving these students the opportunity to perform in community concerts alongside the main ensembles. The classes introduced students to rhythm, melody, and expression through singing, movement, and instrument exploration, fostering creativity and love of music through a supportive environment. These partnerships allowed the San Fernando Valley Youth Chorus to bring accessible, enriching music education to a wider and more diverse group of young people throughout the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles California.
