  • This year, we have received a grant from the State of California that has allowed us to purchase a building that will soon serve as our rehearsal and administrative headquarters. The building – a former supermarket has now undergone a full transformation as we prepare it to be our new home! We are indebted to California State Senator Steven Bradford for sponsoring the legislation that made this grant a reality. Thank you Senator Bradford - more than words can say! As ICYOLA pursues the beginning of our renovation, we are proud and pleased to partner with ConstructReach and Curtom-Dunsmuir. ConstructReach is an organization that partners with school districts nationwide to teach high school students about opportunities in the construction industry. Their team will submerge students into a hands-on work-based learning environment called "I built this!” on Tuesday, October 17th and Wednesday, October 18th at our new facility. Thank you ConstructReach and Curtom-Dunsmuir.
