Overview

Mission

The Mariachi Women's Foundation provides youth and community access and inclusion in mariachi performing and cultural arts through music performance, music education and community engagement.

What it reported doing in 2025

Under the Music Education division of the Mariachi Women's Foundation, the MWF was pleased to hold Mariachi Workshops for 200 students who attended seven middle and high schools in East Los Angeles. The workshops were taught by musicians from the renowned Mariachi Sol de Mexico. A culminating concert was held at Roosevelt HS. It also deployed the Grammy-winning Mariachi Divas for a concert at five K-12 LAUSD schools. The MWF also facilitated instruction for the Mariachi Mariposas after-school program at Garfield HS. Last, it worked with the LAUSD Arts division to implement a summer bridge music program that connected students, teachers and parents of Griffith Junior HS mariachi programs with Garfield HS mariachi programs.
