We believe that all kids should have the opportunity to own and play a musical instrument. Musicians On A Mission California (MOAMCA) is a nonprofit music organization operated solely by volunteers dedicated to providing musical instruments, mentoring and other music-related resources to our community’s special young people.

We work with schools, clubs and individuals and within this framework, veteran musicians also benefit through mentoring and sharing their professional and technical skills with these Kids. MOAMCA also hosts workshops and showcases for young musicians throughout the year at various community events and venues. MOAMCA hosts fundraiser events and instrument drives on a regular basis with 100% of the monetary donations going directly towards furthering our cause.

All of the musical instruments that are donated to Musicians On A Mission CA are inspected, repaired if necessary and gifted to kids in the community who express a need and show enthusiasm and commitment to pursuing their musical interests. Each of these Gift-away celebrations are also recognized by being posted on the MOAMCA Web site.
