Young Lions Jazz Conservatory

Young Lions Jazz Conservatory (YLJC) stands at the intersection of passion for jazz and the nurturing of young talent. Our mission: to revolutionize young lives and invigorate the San Diego community through jazz. We're not just teaching notes and rhythms; we're building intellectual curiosity, character, and self-confidence in middle- and high-school students. Our approach: to offer unmatched performance opportunities in public venues and champion a culture of diversity and inclusion. We are dedicated to advancing the art and appreciation of jazz, not only as music but as a community pillar, through dynamic performances and impactful education. This commitment defines YLJC.
